(CNN) -- Blogger Fouad al-Farhan said Sunday, the day after his release from a Saudi jail, that his four months in detention has given him a new focus.
"My main interest right now is to help ... our youth not to be involved in terrorism activities that will lead them to prisons," al-Farhan said.
Al-Farhan, 32, was detained in December, ostensibly because he supported several reform advocates accused by the Saudi government of supporting terrorism.
The American Islamic Congress, which pushed for his release, said al-Farhan was simply expressing opinions and had advocated against terrorism.
Al-Farhan said he "was treated like any other prisoner" and would not comment further about his case, saying he plans to issue a statement "soon" on his Web log, or "blog."
