Saudi Arabia said its security forces broke up a protest in the eastern city of al-Qatif, a day before what anti-government demonstrators have called a “Day of Rage.”
Police fired above the crowd of 120-150 people to break up the gathering after a policeman taking video to document the event was attacked, Major General Mansour al-Turki, an Interior Ministry spokesman, said in an interview. Three people were injured, two protesters and one policeman, he said.
