Mohammed Saleh al-Bejadi

... that co-founder of the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association Mohammed al-Bejadi spent most of 2011 in prison?

Comment: In fact, he's still in prison, but since this is DYK rather than In the news, i've put a hook fact that should still remain factual as stated, rather than what is also true according to the sources as of March 2012 - he "has spent nearly a year" in prison. IMHO it's hooky enough that a co-founder of a civil rights association spends nearly a year in prison during the Arab Spring in the Arab world... Boud (talk) 23:38, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Length, date and sourcing check out. I think the article could use a reduction of quotations and more paraphrasing for the uncontroversial statements, but that's another matter. Hook passes, congrats. --Al Ameer son (talk) 16:36, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
