Judge Suliman Ibrahim al-Reshoudi[1][2] (Arabic: سليمان الرشودي; also spelled Suleiman al-Rushoodi,[4] Suliaman al-Rashudi,[5] born 1936 or 1937 (age 87–88) [2]) is a Saudi Arabian human rights lawyer[4] and pro-democracy activist.

[2] In November 2011, he was convicted of "breaking allegiance with the King" and possessing literature by Madawi al-Rasheed[7] and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment followed by a 15-year travel ban.

[3] He was one of the founding members of the Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights (CDLR), created in 1993 during calls by Saudi Arabian intellectuals for reform.

[3] Al-Reshoudi's legal defence team filed a court case with the Grievances Board against the Ministry of Interior/Mabahith on 16 August 2009 on the grounds that the detentions were arbitrary.

[9] The presiding judge stated that the Ministry of Interior had informed the Grievances Board the previous night, 27 August 2010, that al-Reshoudi and the other detainees had been tried in court in Jeddah.

[9] In January 2011, ACPRA and the Human Rights First Society complained to King Abdullah about the torture of the septuagenarian judge, whose feet were reportedly chained to his bed each night and who was forced to sit up during the day.

[7] Amnesty International representative Philip Luther criticised the convictions of al-Reshoudi and the other reformists, stating, "Some of these charges appear to be criminalizing the peaceful exercise of the right to freedom of expression, including advocacy of political change.
