This is what Obama and Bush call "Saudi reforms"

"Saudi Arabia has banned all protests and marches following recent anti-government protests in the kingdom’s east, reports say.  State television on Saturday quoted the interior ministry as saying that security forces would use all measures to prevent any attempt to disrupt public order.  The ban on public demonstrations comes amid media reports of a huge mobilisation of Saudi troops in Shia-dominated provinces in order to quell any possible uprising.  According to The Independent, a British newspaper, 10,000 security personnel are being sent to the region by road, clogging highways into Dammam and other cities."
