Press Release: President Acts to Freeze King Abdullah's Assets

WNN has received the following statement from the Office of the Press Secretary:

"The American Embassy in Saudi Arabia has confirmed that the protesters want reforms to the political system. King Abdullah has continued to refuse to negotiate with the protesters, and our embassy tells us that violence by Abdullah against the peaceful protests has continued. The Embassy has also confirmed that many of the peaceful protesters were beaten to death by the Saudi police, and that the situation in Saudi Arabia is highly unstable. As such, President Normandin has issued an executive directive freezing all of King Abdullah's assets and putting on hold the weapons deal until such a time that King Abdullah engages the protesters in meaningful negotiations and releases a plan to implement reforms which incorporates input from the protesters."
