(MENAFN) 11 princes have been arrested by Saudi police and referred to prison pending trial, for protesting at the ruling palace in Riyadh and refusing to leave.They were protesting over the King's decision to stop the government from paying the power and water expenses of them and their demands to get compensation for the execution of a prince in 2017 who was convicted in a murder case.As part of the reforms the kingdom is carrying out, all citizens are equal, which was clear with the arrest of many princes and top officials last year in the biggest corruption case in the history of Saudi Arabia.
