At least 1 Saudi activist was martyred and three were wounded Friday by the fire of Saudis police in the eastern al-Qatif district.

Activists and witnesses said the casualties came when security forces opened fire on a peaceful demonstration in al-Qatif district of the kingdom's Eastern Province.

In details, security forces opened fire when activists called during procession marking the birthday of the Holy Prophet Mohammed for reform and the release of opinion detainees.

"Munir al-Medani, 21, was wounded by a live bullet to his chest," one activist said, requesting anonymity. "He was taken to hospital where he later died of his wounds."

A number of other protesters were also wounded, the activists and witnesses said.

Medani's death raises to six the number of protesters killed since demonstrations erupted in the Eastern Province.

Activists say that Saudi authorities have arrested nearly 500 people since the protests started. Many have been released but dozens remain in custody, among them human rights activist Fadel al-Munasif and writer Nazir al-Majid.

In January, Saudi authorities published a list of 23 men wanted claiming that they are accused of "being involved in the disturbances."
