"Ten men arrested in Saudi Arabia on suspicion of funding terrorism include known political activists detained in the past over calls for reform in the absolute monarchy, a lawyer said yesterday.The Interior Ministry said on Saturday it had arrested 10 people, including a foreign resident, for collecting donations and giving them to “suspicious elements”. It said the arrests were part of police operations against “funding terrorism”." (I looked everywhere in the Western press for a reference to this news to no avail).
