Syrian protesters arrested at Riyadh rally - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Saudi police arrested 164 Syrian expatriates in Riyadh earlier this month when they staged a demonstration in support of the uprising in their country, according to a Syrian human rights organisation.
The protesters were arrested on August 12, just days after King Abdullah's rare public condemnation of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. The Saudi monarch said in a written statement on August 8 that "what is happening in Syria is not acceptable for Saudi Arabia," referring to a months-long crackdown which has left thousands of Syrians dead.
News of the arrests was first made public on Wednesday night by the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Mousab Azzawi, a spokesman for the organisation, said it learned of the arrests through human rights activists in Saudi Arabia."
