About 1,000 people in Saudi Arabia’s eastern city of al-Qatif defied a ban on demonstrations and protested peacefully to demand the country’s troops end their incursion into Bahrain.
Protesters chanted and held signs that called on the government to stay out of Bahrain, according to Ali Hassan, 26, who took part in the march. He said the march veered away from security forces to avoid a confrontation.
