Saudi Arabia: A wave of arrests of opponents


Alwihda Info | Par - 20 Aout 2013



An arrest wave hits Saudi Arabia. An estimated two hundred persons believed to be opponents or close to the opposition, arrested by security forces in the kingdom. Since the beginning of the Arab Spring, many Saudi executives expressed their opposition to the royal regime accused of corruption and mismanagement. The kingdom is making considerable efforts to thwart security tactics of opponents to animate the streets in demonstrations to overthrow the royal family. The brutality of the police has so far managed to prevent any demonstration. The intellectual Saudi Alcherif Ons Alkoutbi delivered his predictions on the situation in Saudi Arabia. To believe Alkoutbi, impossible to get a change of Saudi Arabia without a military coup or a strong dissent within the royal family. Alkotbi, one of the few Saudis broke the silence, requires changing the name of Saudi Arabia by the old name "Alhijaz." "We are not slaves of the Saudi royal family," said Alkotbi. Alwihda
