“It seems that the revolution is ongoing for months, probably, despite all this kind of negligence by the Western media and from the Middle Eastern media,” said Mohsen Saleh, a professor at the Lebanese University in Beirut, alluding to the growing anti-governments protests across Saudi Arabia.
“The [al-Saud] family is really trying to put down this revolution and they can’t. It seems that they can’t despite all the aid from the United States and from the West, and from the Western media,” he added.
The analyst expressed regret that the international organizations and the so-called humanitarian organizations “have not shed any kind of light” on the ensuing developments across the Saudi monarchy.
“This revolution in Saudi Arabia has started and will not finish until the Saudi regime is gone,” Saleh pointed out.
On Sunday, Saudi security forces opened fire on demonstrators who had taken to the streets in the city of Qatif to express solidarity with the detained cleric, killing at least three protesters and injuring many others.
Since February 2011, protesters have held demonstrations on an almost regular basis in Saudi Arabia, mainly in Qatif and the town of Awamiyah in Eastern Province, calling for the release of all political prisoners, freedom of expression and assembly, and an end to widespread discrimination.
However, the demonstrations have turned into protests against the Al Saud regime, especially since November 2011, when Saudi security forces killed five protesters and injured many others in Eastern Province.
