The southern provinces of Saudi Arabia have been the scene of protests by members of the Isma'ili sect who reside there.
The protestors, dozens of whom have been arrested, sharply criticized the government's neglect of their rights and demands and the discrimination practiced against them.
The Isma'ilis number about two million, but are not allowed to hold Saudi citizenship.
The Saudi authorities have also closed Shi'a mosques, while the Shi'a Muslims in the Kingdom are denied their rights to practice centuries-old religious rites.
