3 Women Among 36 Sentenced for Al-Olaya Protests
A Riyadh court has sentenced 36 citizens including three women to 55 days in prison for demonstrating in Riyadh two months ago, Al-Watan Arabic newspaper reported yesterday. “A summary court on Sunday sentenced 36 Saudi men and women to 55 days in prison for taking part in a gathering in the Al-Olaya area two months ago,” the paper said. “The judge ordered the group to be released for time already served after it was confirmed that they had fallen prey to a dubious party calling itself the Movement for Islamic Reform,” said the paper.
Looked at the name instead of the organization, did they?
Al-Watan predicted the jailed demonstrators would be released within a few days. “They have sent a cable to the interior minister condemning the Al-Muhaya bombing and other terrorist attacks in the Kingdom,” it added.
