RIYADH - Dozens of Saudis staged a rare protest on Monday against the detention of relatives held without trial for security offenses in a country that escaped last year's Arab Spring unrest but has faced criticism for its human rights record.Up to 50 people, including eight women, stood quietly outside a prosecutor's office by the side of a Riyadh road watched by uniformed policemen sitting in three police cars.
Human rights groups have faulted Saudi Arabia for a near total lack of democracy and intolerance of dissent. Rights groups have also accused the government of using its campaign against Islamist militants to imprison political dissidents.Saudis stage rare protest over detentions without trial
