Saudis on Social: Being Shia

When it comes to freedoms, human rights organisations will tell you Saudi Arabia doesn't have the best track record. And perhaps because compared to elsewhere there is limited personal freedom, defiance across the region has gone digital.

In this part of the BBC's special series "Saudis on social" we tell the story of "Hussein" who posted an anonymous account on Twitter about what life is like for a member of a religious minority in the kingdom.

To follow and join the conversation about life in Saudi Arabia, search for the hashtag #SaudisOnSocial on Twitter and Facebook.

Produced by Mai Noman.
