More specifically, and as one of the controlling procedure by
the Saudi authorities to stop human rights defender and political activities,
the member of the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association (ACPRA) Abdullah
AlSaeed is still going through investigation in Bureau of Investigation and
Public Prosecution in Buraidah since 29/04/2014. AlSaeed is having his fourth investigation
session on May 12th. Also, 9 other members of ACPRA are currently
imprisoned and 3 others were interrogated due to their political and human
rights activities.
Additionally, Sheikh Tawfiq AlAmer was transferred from AlHair
Prison, which considered to be for criminals, in the capital Riyadh to Jeddah
in preparation for submission to the SCC in a long series of trials. The 12th
trial is specified in response to the defense charges as incitement. Based on
several previous trials in June 2013, Sheikh AlAmer was sentenced to 4 years in
prison; travel bans for 5 years and ban of public speaking.

Also, in the same day of Sheikh AlAmer 12th trial
and prison, Raza Jafar AlRebh is going through his 4th trial devoted
to verdict in regard to charges, including concealment and harboring wanted people
which were involved Qatif and AlAHasa activities that began since February
2011.
The European Saudi Society for Human Rights, and based on
continues monitoring of conscience trials of opinion and ongoing investigations,
believes that the Saudi authorities have been violating international standards.
Extreme and harsh charges as 30 years in prison and 30 years travel ban, secret
trials as in the Saudi citizen Saeed Salah AlMabyog’s case, in December 2013.
His prosecution was only published by official media after the public
prosecutor demanded the death penalty based on forced confession[1].
