The coalition was formed in March 2012, inspired by the decentralised Bahraini 14 February Youth Coalition, and has adopted some of its tactics.[1] The groups have activists from a wide range of ideological backgrounds, but are mostly united by their demands for greater democracy and human rights.
Although only active in Eastern Province, the coalition has a national focus, and has tried to coordinate with different groups in other parts of Saudi Arabia.[2]
The groups that make up the Coalition for Freedom and Justice include:
- Day of Qatifi Rage for the Release of Forgotten Prisoners
- Eastern Province Revolution
- Free Dignity Movement
- Free Youth Movement
- Youth Reform Movement
