Saudi rounds up 20 people in crackdown
Afp, Dubai
Saudi authorities have arrested at least 20 people, including prominent clerics Salman al-Awdah and Awad al-Qarni, in an apparent crackdown on dissent, activists and family members have said. The leading cleric was arrested after he welcomed the first contact between Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and Qatar's emir Sheikh Tameem bin Hamad Al-Thani after a three-month boycott.
