SAUDI human rights groups are being urged to step up pressure on their government to secure the release of two jailed Bahrainis.
Abdulraheem Al Murbati was among a group of men arrested in Riyadh in June 2003 on suspicion of being members of Al Qaeda.
Khalil Janahi was arrested in April last year for the same reason, but it is understood neither man has been charged.
The Bahrain Human Rights Watch Society (BHRWS) has now established contact with the Saudi Human Rights Commission and hopes to secure the men’s release before Ramadan starts next month.
“I have met the commission president Shaikh Turki bin Khalid Al Sadiri and requested they intervene to speed up the release of the men,” said BHRWS regional and international director Faisal Fulad.
