Similar demonstrations have also been held in Riyadh and the holy city of Medina over the past few weeks.
The Saudi Interior Ministry issued a statement on March 5, 2011, prohibiting “all forms of demonstrations, marches or protests, and calls for them.”
On July 13, Saudi security forces in Awamiyah killed an 18-year-old protester during a demonstration held near a police station to demand the release of prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nemr al-Nemr, who was attacked, injured and arrested on July 8.
