Saudi Shiites arrested

Saudi authorities have arrested three Shiites and slapped a travel ban on the wife of an opposition figure held in the United States in connection with the Dahran bombing, the London-based opposition Committee for the Defense of Human Rights in the Arabian Peninsula charged on July 28.

Searches and arrests are carried out "on a daily basis" in eastern Saudi Arabia, and hundreds of clerics and other citizens are rotting in the jails of the Saudi regime, the group claimed.
