Dr. Said ben Zair, aged 57, professor of sciences and information at Riyadh University, was arrested in Riyadh on 6 June 2007.

Less than two months after the arrest of his son Saad Ben Zair, lawyer and human rights advocate, the Ministry of the Interior’s agents arrested him at a checkpoint at the entrance to Riyadh. Dr. Ben Zair was coming back from Mecca where he had just completed the Umrah pilgrimage with his other son, Mubarak Ben Zair.
