Communist Party of Saudi Arabia


The Communist Party in Saudi Arabia (Arabic: الحزب الشيوعي في السعودية, Hizb al-Shuyu'i fi al-Sa'udiyah) was an outlawed political party of Saudi Arabia, founded in 1975 and whose origins go back to the Nationalist Movement Arabic.

The party had a youth organization, called the Union of Young Democrats - Saudi Arabia (Itihad ash-Shabaab ad-Dimokrati fi Saudia). The headquarters was located in Damascus, Syria.

At the beginning of the 1990s, the Saudi government released some political prisoners who were part of the organization, in exchange for the party's promise to dismantle. It has since renamed itself as Saudi Arabia's Unification Democratic.
