RIYADH, March 16: At least seven liberals were detained in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. They included signatories to a petition to Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Abdullah calling for a timetable for political reforms to be implemented in Saudi Arabia.
"This will make people lose trust in the government and their promises. It contradicts one hundred per cent what they have been promising," said one academic with close links to some of the detainees. -Reuters
