Saudi appeals court upholds lengthy sentence for aid worker

DUBAI (Reuters) - A Saudi appeals court has upheld a lengthy prison sentence handed to aid worker Abdulrahman al-Sadhan earlier this year by a counterterrorism court, his sister said.

Sadhan, who was detained by Saudi authorities in March 2018, was reportedly sentenced to 20 years in prison followed by a 20-year travel ban, the U.S. State Department said in April.
