A dual US-Saudi citizen being held in Saudi Arabia, Dr. Walid Fitaihi, says he is afraid for his life and his lawyer says his family believes he has been tortured.

Fitaihi is a physician who came to the US in the 1980s for school and then worked here.He went back to Saudi Arabia in 2006 to start a hospital, which his family built. He would periodically come back to the US for business. He was detained in November 2017 at the Ritz Carlton hotel along with other prominent Saudis, his lawyer says.

" The family is now going public on Fitaihi's behalf and is calling on President Donald Trump and senior presidential adviser Jared Kushner to insist on Fitaihi's release.Cooper says Fitaihi is a well-known motivational speaker who became"a well-recognized voice in Saudi Arabia for the movement towards more American oriented ideas of civil rights and equality," according to the letter.Saudi officials have not returned CNN's request for comment.
