Saudi Arabia: Lone Protester Khaled Al Johani Temporarily Released · Global Voices
Anas Soliman

When a Day of Rage was called for in Saudi Arabia back on March 11, 2011, only a handful of protesters challenged the heavy police presence and protested. Khaled Al Johani was the only one of those on tape.
Al Johani spoke to a group of journalists who were brought by a Ministry of Culture and Information bus to the place where the protest was planned to happen and was arrested on the same day of the interview when he returned to his house. He was held until today, when Khaled's brother tweeted at 2.50pm [ar]:
Saudi journalist Turki Alabdullhai tweeted:

And Saudi writer Mortada Al Atiya tweeted:
Saudi netizens have kept Al Johani's memory alive on Twitter.
