A woman who co-founded the Saudi Liberal Network Internet discussion group with blogging activist Raef Badawi has been freed after about three months in prison, her daughter told a news agency on Sunday.



Suad al-Shammari had spent around 90 days at a women’s prison in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, her daughter Sarah al-Rimaly told AFP.



“She’s released now, thanks be to God,” Rimaly said.



She added that her mother was freed three days ago after signing a pledge “to reduce her activities”.



Shammari, could not immediately be reached for comment by AFP.



As part of some landmark Royal decrees, including a major government reshuffle, Saudi Arabia’s new King Salman late on Thursday granted general amnesty for a large number of prisoners.
