Saudi Protesters Demand Release of Shiite Leader 
-------------------------------------------------

release of Shiite prisoners that they feel are being held unjustly. The
protest comes one week after Saudi authorities arrested a prominent
Shiite leader who called for Saudi Arabia to become a constitutional
monarchy.
