Who are MIRA?
The founders of MIRA have all been key figures in the reform movement in Arabia since the gulf war. They were the main authors of the famous Letter of Demands and the Advice Memorandum presented to Saudi regime.

They were also the main founders of CDLR- the formation of which was the most important political development in the recent history of Arabia. After a crackdown on CDLR by the regime they organized the transfer of the movements activities outside the country.

The activities of CDLR secured major achievements over almost two years. Ultimately , the difficulties and disharmony within CDLR made it impossible to continue. The final straw was the persistent breach of CDLR's policy by individuals whose names had become synonymous with the organisation. thus the establishment of a new organisation to continue the original mission of the reform movement was decided. The MIRA office in London is the information and media centre of the movement rather than the leadership.

Who is Dr.Saad AL-Fagih?

Dr Al-Fagih was, until March 1994 a Professor of Surgery at King Saud University & Consultant Surgeon to King Khaled University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Whilst inside his country Dr Al-Fagih was heavily involved in the reform movement, and, with others, was jailed for his efforts. Upon release from the prison he was appointed by the movement as the director of the London office of the then leading opposition group CDLR.
He has now left CDLR to be the director & the spokesman for MIRA.
