Hamas expressed its shock of the sentences the Saudi justice released against a big number of Palestinians and Jordanians living in the Saudi Arabia.

"Those brothers did not commit what requires such harsh, unjustified sentences," Hamas said in a statement.

"Everything they have done was in favor of their people and the nations they belong to," it added.

"At the same time we welcome and appreciate the acquittals released for some of them, we also condemn the harsh sentences released against the majority," it said.
