| 2008-01-11 |
| Saudi Arabia has detained another reform activist, a colleague said on Thursday, in the latest of a series of measures against government critics ahead of a visit by US President George W Bush. Muhammad al-Bijadi was detained by state security police in the northern town of Buraida on Wednesday, Matruk al-Faleh told Reuters. Bijadi was previously held for three months over his role in two protests by women over the indefinite detention of their husbands, Faleh said. |
