Cyber activists call for 'Day of Anger' to protest arrest of Shiite cleric

Cyber activists on Facebook are organising a "Day of Anger" Friday in the
majority Shiite region of eastern Saudi Arabia. They are demanding the release
of a Shiite cleric arrested after calling for a "constitutional monarchy".
AFP - Cyber activists have created a group on Facebook calling for a "Day of
Anger" on Friday in the eastern Shiite-majority Saudi region, following the
arrest of a Shiite cleric.
The group of more than 500 members is calling for protests after Friday prayers
in Al-Hufuf, in Eastern Province's Al-Ihsaa governorate, to demand the release
of Sheikh Tawfiq al-Amer.
Amer was arrested after calling for a "constitutional monarchy" in the
Sunni-dominated kingdom, according to the Rasid website, which specialises in
Shiite Saudi news.
It said that Amer has been held several times in the ultra-conservative
absolute monarchy over his calls "for giving Shiites further freedom to
exercise their religious rights."
The Shiites, who are mainly concentrated in the oil-rich Eastern Province, and
make up about 10 percent of the Saudi population as a whole, complain of
marginalisation in the kingdom.
The Eastern Province has common borders with Shiite-majority Bahrain, where
protests, also organised via social networking site Facebook, against the
ruling Sunni dynasty have raged since February 14 demanding reforms.
