The link is working now. Heres an update more ast the lonk.

JEDDAH, 6 January 2008 — Authorities yesterday allowed a family member to meet detained Saudi blogger Fouad Al-Farhan in prison, Arab News has learned.

Al-Farhan’s father-in-law met him for one hour inside at Jeddah’s Dahban Prison where the Saudi blogger has been held for the past 27 days.

“His spirits are high,” said one of his blogger friends. “He hasn’t been told of the charges (against him). He said he’s interrogated for 15 minutes every day.”

Until yesterday, Al-Farhan’s family had been denied access to the 32-year-old Jeddah-based owner of a small IT business who runs a web journal that discusses Saudi social and political issues.
