Saudi forces have opened fire on demonstrators in Qatif in the country’s Eastern province, leaving several protesters injured.
Similar demonstrations have also been held in Riyadh and the holy city of Medina over the past few weeks.
Since February 2011, protesters have held demonstrations on an almost regular basis in Saudi Arabia, mainly in the Qatif region and Awamiyah in Eastern Province, calling for the release of all political prisoners, freedom of expression and assembly, and an end to widespread discrimination.
