""Civil society and human rights activists in Saudi Arabia are struggling for greater popular political participation, judicial reform, and an end to discrimination against women and minorities. Saudi authorities have responded by arresting rights defenders and attempting to intimidate, those calling for change. This report presents the stories of 11 prominent Saudi civil society and human rights activists, and their struggles to resist government efforts to silence them. Empowered by new media and social media tools such as Twitter, activists have gained the means to build relationships with one another, discuss ideas, and develop public platforms from which to disseminate their proreform message to the Saudi public. Authorities have attempted to stem the growth of independent activism through a sweeping repression campaign, which has included threats, intimidation, investigations, prosecutions, detentions, and long prison terms. In the face of repression, Saudi activists continue to challenge the authorities, risking their freedom and livelihoods in order push for genuine reform and respect for human rights. The 11 individuals profiled in the report demonstrate some of the struggles and successes of Saudi Arabia's small but growing activist community"--Publisher's description."
