Brahim Saâdoune (Arabic: إبراهيم سعدون, romanized: Ibrāhīm Saʻdūn; born 2000)[a] is a Moroccan student who joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a fighter-volunteer.[2] Saâdoune was captured during the Battle of Volnovakha and sentenced to death by the Supreme Court of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) in what has been described as a "show trial".[3][4]
On September 21, 2022, Saâdoune was released in a prisoner exchange deal mediated by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.[5][6][7]
