Eight Bahraini nationals have been held incommunicado since their arrest a month ago, and are at risk of torture and other ill treatment. According to information received by Amnesty International, all eight men travelled in two cars to the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, for a short holiday and were arrested by Saudi Arabian security forces at a checkpoint when they arrived there on 28 February 2008.
