The Riyadh regime’s forces briefly arrested his wife, Sakina al-Faraj, who was injured in the attack.
The victim’s brother Zaki al-Faraj and his nephew Salman were also arrested.
The Shia-populated Eastern Province has been the scene of peaceful demonstrations since February 2011. Protesters have been demanding reforms, freedom of expression, the release of political prisoners, and an end to economic and religious discrimination against the oil-rich region.
