Saudi security forces have reportedly attacked and beaten female students in the southwestern city of Abha, protesting against injustice and inequality.

Activists say female students of King Khalid University in Abha staged a protest gathering on Wednesday to express their anger about discrimination and mistreatment by security officials at the university.

Female protesters hold pictures of men said to be held prisoner 

without trial during a protest rally in Qatif to demand their release,

They also denounced lack of facilities some of them very basic like chairs.

Meanwhile, Saudi human rights campaigner Mohammed Albajady is still on hunger strike to protest his detention of nearly one-year without trial. Activists say he refused to eat 16 days ago.

Saudi Arabia is facing growing unrest and people have been demanding justice and release of political prisoners since last year. Anti-government protest rallies are mostly held in the Kingdom's Eastern Province but despite a violent crackdown on demonstrations, it appears that the protests are now spreading across the country.

Saudis have held peaceful demonstrations in Eastern Province, mostly in Awamiyah and Qatif, since February last year on an almost regular basis, demanding reform, freedom of expression and the release of political prisoners.

Protesters also want an end to economic and religious discrimination against the oil-rich region. Several demonstrators have been killed and dozens of activists have been arrested since the beginning of protests in the region.

On February 23, protest rallies were held across the province to demand the prosecution of those who opened fire on demonstrators one week earlier. Saudi security forces broke up the rallies using force and arrested several demonstrators.

Riyadh has intensified its crackdown on protesters since the beginning of 2012.

...

First a little history on the old monarchy of Libya:

The great-nephew of the Libyan king ousted by Muammar Qaddafi said(Sept 2011) his countrymen should be allowed to decide if they want the return of the monarchy, offering his family as a “servant of the Libyan people,” he told the Associated Press in an interview.

The prince was working, he said, to ensure that "the future of Libya will be bright, and when I say bright I mean a country with a constitution, with health care system, with freedom of speech and also justice."

Idris had complete control of the army and a good deal of influence over the parliament, which was mainly composed of powerful tribal leaders. In addition Libya, an arid, impoverished country with crop production limited to the narrow coastline, could not flourish without heavy "aid" from Western powers. In time, younger citizens, especially the military, grew tied of the king's conservative policies and extreme dependence on the West.

The Libyan monarchy of Idris, which was based in Benghazi, was installed by the United States and British in the 1950’s to oversee their economic and military interests in North Africa. Libya in 1951, under the leadership of King Idris, had amoung the lowest standards of Living in the world. The Idris monarchy was overthrown in a bloodless revolution led by Muammar al-Gaddafi in 1969. This led to the American Wheelus Air Base (The largest American base outside of US at that time) being dismantled and the American and British armed forces stationed in Libya evacuating. The western oil companies were then nationalized...

Photo credit: Libya SOS

1. Loss of sovereignty, all unsatisfied regions want autonomy now,borders are 'legally protected' by foreign forces [Italian and French],foreign military bases on its soil, and airspace out of domestic control.
No one respects new puppet government, there are no legal police institutions, or national army, country is 'ruled' by different militias which are infighting among themselves.

[schools,hospitals,roads,airports,civilians buildings,government buildings].

6. 55.000 wounded NATO-led rebels are treated outside of country, expences payed with Libyan money.

7. Thousands of tortured black prisoners in real and makeshift jails, some in cages forced to eat flag and jump like apes.

8. Rape and kidnappings became widespread occurance.

9. Drugs and weapons smuggling are widespread,sometimes as only means of income, unless you work in US NGOs which are popping up like mushrooms after the rain, in order to whitewash NATO's crimes.

10. Oil is in the hands of foreign forces.

11. Tripoli is ruled by Belhadj, former Al Qaeda commander, whose fraction is pushing for gender inequality Sharia laws.

12. Libyan Media is in the hand of Nato countries.

13. Wahabi's allowed to desecrate christian graveyards.

14. Retaliation on kids and woman "from the other side" are common occurance.

16. What else??

O yes, 'revolution' has brought freedom and democracy.
