Knowing that Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, protests within their country is said to be illegal.
However, the streets were crowded after the Shia cleric Tawfiq al-Amer was arrested and detained for saying that Saudi Arabia would be a constitutional monarchy.
Though his release was granted last weekend, a small group of protesters continue to create in Saudi’s Eastern Region where crude oil is mostly taken.
Continued demands are being held to free the nine Shia protesters whom without trial were held for more than 14 years time.
Witnesses from Qatif have said that crowds of protests gathered again for the same reason of releasing the prisoners. Some reports have said that other police stun grenade and fired over the protesters’ heads to disperse the crowd.
Due to some police actions, human rights groups have been accusing them for beating protesters from the rallies held in Qatif previously.

Shia minorities are somewhat concentrated in the Eastern part of Saudi where Sunni dominates 10% of its population.
Since mid-February, the Sunni government leading the Shia majority has been attacked by protesters contradicting their government.
However, behind the continuing unrest in Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah released $37bn to benefit the citizens and imposed the 15% rise of salaries to the employees of the state.
