A number of bloggers, Shia Muslims and Coptic Christians on Tuesday staged protests before the Saudi Embassy in Cairo, demanding that Saudi Arabia stop financing Salafis in Egypt who incite sectarian violence. They also demanded that Saudi Arabia return all assets and money held in Saudi Arabia on behalf of deposed President Hosni Mubarak. “This is our third protest since the revolution,” said Shia protester Mohamed al-Dariny. “We won't stop until the Saudi threat to our national unity is thwarted.” The protests were joined by families of Egyptians detained in Saudi Arabia. They said their relatives had been detained without trial, and requested that Prime Minister Essam Sharaf intervene to secure their immediate release. They also demanded an official apology from Saudi Arabia. Translated from the Arabic Edition
