Al-Oqeili in August 2010 was halted by a security patrol in a quadric car when he was driving his car with his sister's son Hussain Ali al-Oqeili on Qatif street. They were arrested and led to prison under a charge of holding a banner in support of Hizbullah on their car during the occasion of the birthday of Imam Mahdi (AS).
The court issued a decision of three months imprisonment against him and was arrested for 11 days pending investigation.
In December al-Oqeili was summoned by the court of Qatif to endorse his words and then called again to inform him of the sentence.
