According to Ahl ul Bayt News Agency - ABNA, Saudi forces arrested the former mayor of al-Khobar city, Abdullah Salih al-Mohana yesterday because he was preparing for parayer in his mosque and refused to sign documents declaring he would never open al-Khobar mosque.

Al - Khobar mosque is one of the three Shia mosques which is banned for preparing prayer by Saudi authority and they arrested their three Imams (Sayyid Hashim Ali al-Naser , prayer leader of al-Khobar mosque , Sayyid Mohammad Baqir al-Naser prayer leader of al-Azeziyah mosque , Shaikh Yousif al-Mazeny prayer leader of al-Athaqba mosque ).

It is for long time that Saudi extremists (Wahhabians) banned any Shia activities, such as constructing new mosques or preparing old mosques. Really Saudi Shias are in bad situation, they suffer from Saudi tortures and discriminations.
