An official source at the Ministry of Interior said that confronting the deviant thought is carried out through various programs aiming at exposing this thought and refuting the pretexts behind which those who cause disorder and spread mischief hide. At the same time, facts are explained to those who were misled and they are helped to correct the course of their lives and rehabilitate them to be constructive members of the society. This came in a statement by him commenting on reports by the media that the two Saudis who were previously brought from Guantanamo joined the deviant group abroad. The two took part in the prisoners' care program. The source said, "In addition to the program of advising which is an awareness program directed on a voluntary basis to several categories of the society including the prisoners, the prisoners' care program is for the prisoners who ended their sentences and they are helped through various activities in which their families participate to facilitate their integration into society and to prepare the appropriate circumstances for them to be good members of their society. To this date, those who benefited from the program totaled 218 including those who returned from Guantanamo." The source added, "The prisoners' care program is not a detention program. It is an organized social rehabilitation aiming at alleviating difficulties that may stand in the way of those who end their sentences and regulations require their release to resume their natural lives. After ending the requirements of this program, they are subject to the regulations applicable in the country as any other citizens. Anyone committing a violation or a crime, the followed regulations will be applied against them." --more
