Not in the US press: no words from Hillary and Obama

"Saudi Arabia has arrested over 160 activists since February, Human Rights Watch said in a report this week, as the absolute monarchy attempts to insulate itself from the mass uprisings that have swept the Arab world.
A report by the U.S.-based rights group called for the Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef to immediately release what it called peaceful dissidents, and said their arrests violated international human rights law."
