Yes free; you know, can come and go as you like. Or do you think the Saudi Kingdom has a fence around the country like a Marxist State?
By the way, if you get your information from HRW; you just may be a gullible fool.
Surely you're joking.
Saudi Arabia is a BRUTAL regime .. especially for women.
Amnesty International: SAUDI ARABIA: REPRESSION IN THE NAME OF SECURITY
The Saudi Arabian authorities launched a new wave of repression in early 2011 in the context of protests sparked by long-standing grievances over detentions without charge or trial and following the mass protests in the region. A further threat to human rights in Saudi Arabia is a draft law on terrorism that promises to criminalize even the smallest act of dissent. This report calls on the Saudi Arabian authorities to ensure that human rights are respected in law and in practice at all times.

Regime change in Saudi Arabia is a mortal blow to Al-Qaeda
excerpt
The uprising in Bahrain sent shock waves across Saudi Arabia. Bahrain is at Saudi Arabia’s doorstep, it’s a Sunni dominated dictatorship, which discriminates heavily against the Shiite majority. The king of Bahrain has used massive disproportionate force against the peaceful protesters, but failed to quell the protesters. The Saudi King has warned that Saudi security forces would intervene to end the protest once and for all. The Saudi regime is deeply worried that any major concessions given to the Shiite in Bahrain would dramatically embolden its own Shiite population, who form the absolute majority in the, oil rich, eastern province.
Saudi Arabia has one of the most repressive, intransigent and brutal regimes on this planet. The powerful religious institution provides the House of Saud with the religious legitimacy to rule, while the royal family provides it with the necessary funding to propagate and export its extremist, hard-line and uncompromising version of Islam (Wahhabie or Salafi). The Saudi religious institution exported its ideology by creating and funding thousands of Madrassas across the world. These Madrassas in Pakistan and Afghanistan are the birthplace of Al-Qaeda and Taleban. They have supplied Al-Qaeda and Taleban with an endless flow of suicide bombers. The religious fatwa’s, which are absolutely vital to provide the religious justification and legitimacy to the suicide bombings and atrocities, emanates from high ranking religious leaders in Saudi Arabia. The overwhelming majority of those clerics are prominent government employees. The former chief of the Saudi Judiciary issued a fatwa calling on Saudis to go to Iraq or pay money to support the then Al-Qaeda leader Al-Zarqawi.

I could post about 100,000 articles that clearly demonstrate the brutality of the Saudis. These facts are well-known to the entire world.
Not sure how you missed this undeniable truth.
