Protesters Detained in Saudi Arabia

Security forces detained dozens of men, women and children on Tuesday who were staging a rare protest outside a human rights group’s office in Riyadh to demand the release of jailed relatives, activists said. Saudi Arabia, which bans protests, says the prisoners were all held on security grounds. Activists said some had also been detained for purely political activity and have never been charged.
