Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (Arabic: سلمان بن عبد العزیز آل سعود, romanized: Salmān bin ʿAbd al ʿAzīz ʾĀl Suʿūd; born 1 November 1982) is a member of the Saudi ruling family.

[3] Prince Salman received his early education at the Najd School in Riyadh and graduated from King Saud University after studying law.

People close to him told the Washington Post that he was summoned, in the middle of the night, to the palace where he was beaten and arrested.

As of November 2018, Salman and his father had still not been released, according to his Paris-based attorney, Elie Hatem, and neither of them were charged as of October 2018.

The lawyer and the family of the two princes confirmed that there were no corruption suspicion against them and stressed that they had been detained because they expressed their opinions.

His lawyer was in contact with the President of France Emmanuel Macron and the French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to achieve their release.

Following the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi on 2 October 2018, the family of the two detained expressed grave concern about their fate, because they had not heard any news about them since they were summoned to the Royal Palace 10 months prior.
