By: Abdulali
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: Saudi security forces have detained
a number of Shiite protesters in Qatif of the oil-rich
mominin-dominated eastern province on Friday, according to the
kingdom’s official news agency.
Witnesses said the forces first opened fire on the protesters,
wounding several as hundreds marched to demand the release of
detainees.
The demonstrators carried posters of Shiite detainees, including
prominent cleric Nimr al-Nimr, who was arrested earlier this month,
witnesses said.
The district witnessed a spate of protests after an outbreak of
violence between Shiite pilgrims and religious police in the Muslim
holy city of Medina in February last year.
