UAE-Saudi conflict

The printing of this in the Daily Star is further indication of the deterioration of relations between Saudi Arabia and UAE: "More than three years after he was arrested on vague allegations, Saudi political detainee Suliman al-Reshoudi who has yet to be tried or even charged with a crime is now taking on the system.Although his situation is not unusual for political prisoners in Saudi Arabia, the former judge is suing the security police and Interior Ministry to either charge him or release him."
