The wife of a leading Saudi human rights activist says authorities have released her husband after more than seven months in jail.
Jamila al-Faleh said her husband, Matrook al-Faleh, was released Saturday and is in good health.
Al-Faleh was arrested in May at King Saud University, where he taught political science. His arrest was condemned by Saudi and international activists and human rights groups.
New York-based Human Rights Watch has said al-Faleh's arrest came after he publicly criticized conditions in a prison where two other human rights activists were serving jail terms.
