The Saudi authorities arrested on 18 July 2009 the Shiite citizen Mohammad Nimer Baqir al-Nimer, 22 years , from al- Awwamiya, a Shiite village near Qatif , in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province , a student in Jubail University , the son of the notable leading Shia cleric Sheikh Nimer al Nimer.
Mohammad al Nimer was arrested without any charge but used by police as pressure on his father to give himself up to the authorities .
Sheikh al Nimer went into hiding to avoid arrest since the protests in Awwamiya in March 2009.
Mohammad al Nimer went himself to recover his car which was confiscated by Awwamiya police in previous time , but he did not know that it would be his fate behind bars.
