Three Saudi reformers have been sentenced to prison for being reformers.

They signed a petition asking for an elected parliament and a constitutional monarchy. As a result, “Ali al-Demaini, Abdullah al-Hamed and Matrouk al-Faleh were sentenced on May 15 to nine, seven and six years of imprisonment respectively.” Details are here.

Thanks goodness for Amnesty International. I’m sure they’ll have these guys out on bail in no time. If not, I’m sure they’ll be demanding that Saudi leaders be arrested in foreign countries, just as they’ve said Americans should be arrested in foreign countries. Don’t you think?
