Local Editor

One Saudi was martyred and four others were injured by the Saudi regime in Awamia city east of the country, while the capital Riyadh witnessed a protest against the arbitrary arrest of citizens without trials. The regime forces also fired intensively while chasing a citizen in Al-Deira neighborhood, killing one person and causing material casualties. Sources revealed that the forces were getting prepared to destory a mosque in the city. On another hand, hundreds of Saudis gathered in protest of the administrative arrest of their relatives in Riyadh. Moreover, human rights organizations accused the authorities of capturing over 5000 people without trial. One protestor, who spoke under condition of anonymity, said that "my brother told me that he was taken to a secret trial last year, and he was not allowed to choose his lawyers. One year had passed and we still don't know the results of that trial." "I believe that this trial is only a formality," he added.
