Saudis arrest protesters in eastern Shiite region
None
Saudi authorities detained a number of protesters Friday in the country's restive eastern Shiite region after they set tires ablaze during an overnight rally, the kingdom's official news agency reported.
The arrests took place in the city of Qatif, where members of the Shiite minority have been clashing with police over the past year, demanding greater rights and an end to what they say is discrimination by the Sunni rulers. (AP)
