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. âA 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,â the paper said. âThe 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,â said the paper.

Al-Watan predicted the jailed demonstrators would be released within a few days. âThey have sent a cable to the interior minister condemning the Al-Muhaya bombing and other terrorist attacks in the Kingdom,â it added. |
