The Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia

Date of Birth: 11 march 1996
Current Base: London U.K
Director & Spokesman: Dr Saad Al-Fagih FRCS
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
Aims:
MIRA seeks major reforms in Arabia;in particular, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and the abolition of the Secret Police units subverting political movements and activity. These reform are a pre condition for the political, judicial, economic and social reforms which need to take place. Methods: To achieve these aims MIRA uses all peaceful legitimate means including information, communication and political pressure. MIRA is happy to receive any question, inquiry, criticism, comment on our work or about the situation in Arabia.
