(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association said its member, Mohamed al-Bajadi, had been held since March last year.
The rights group called on all Saudis, and specifically human rights activists, to "join a symbolic hunger strike next Thursday and Friday in solidarity with Bajadi and other political prisoners."
According to the statement, "24 people" have so far pledged to join the fast.
The statement said Bajadi was arrested after publicly revealing information about the alleged "death by torture of Yemeni citizen Sultan Abdo al-Duais," while in Saudi custody.
According to a fellow activist, who spoke to media sources on condition of anonymity, Bajadi has been charged with "inciting people to protest, possession of banned books, and damaging the reputation of the state."
