One of the daughters of Saudi King Abdullah called on people across the kingdom to rise against the ruling regime. The eldest daughter, Sahar, who is under house arrest along with three of her sisters in the city of Jeddah, said in a video message that victory is theirs, press tv reported. "Greetings to martyrs and to free men in jail. It is an honor for me to learn the meaning of freedom, rights and dignity from you revolutionary people," the 42-year-old Saudi princess said. "We promise to follow in your footsteps and not to let go of your hands. God’s hand will be above us. We learn determination from Ayatollah Nimr al-Nimr, the Sheikh of free men. For this reason, we will press ahead on the path by our own will," she added. She was referring to prominent Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, who was arrested over calls for the release of political prisoners. Sheikh Nimr was attacked, injured and arrested by Saudi security forces en route to his house in the Qatif region of Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province in July 8, 2012. "And we will become victorious with faith in God. Good luck, you who have honored us by raising the flags of freedom. Your sisters, Sahar and Jawahir," Sahar stated in the message. Sahar, Maha, Hala and Jawaher Al Saud are daughters of Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, who are reportedly being confined against their will. On April 20, Sahar told the New York Post in a phone call that "We are cut off and isolated and alone." "We are hostages. No one can come see us, and we can’t go see anyone. Our father is responsible and his sons, our half-brothers, are both culprits in this tragedy," she added. The princess described their living quarters as "ruins," saying that she and her sisters are beaten by sticks by men including their "half-brothers".
