Popular circles and human rights organizations called for the release of political analyst Hussein Al-Baroud on Wednesday after his arrest a few days ago due to his journalistic opinions expressed through the platforms of "v news," which are constitutionally and legally protected.

Human rights sources told the news agency that the constitutional provisions and existing laws allow any citizen to express their opinion according to the law, noting that the statements made by Al-Baroud through media platforms did not contain any threats.

The sources added that Al-Baroud's statements were made in a conditional form and future speculations, pointing out that the law does not penalize potential issues but requires the existence of a tangible act occurring in reality.
