Communist Party in Saudi Arabia

The Communist Party in Saudi Arabia (Arabic: الحزب الشيوعي في السعودية, al-Hizb ash-Shuyu'i fi as-Sa'udiyah) was a political party in Saudi Arabia.

[1] The Communist Party in Saudi Arabia (CPSA) was formed on August 31, 1975.

[4] Declining popularity caused by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise in popularity of political Islamism caused the party to rename itself as Democratic Assembly of Saudi Arabia (Arabic: التجمع الديموقراطي في السعودية) and take up the cause of democratic reform in the early 1990s.

The CPSA had a youth organization, the Union of Democratic Youth – Saudi Arabia (Ittihad ash-Shabab ad-Dimuqrati fi as-Sa'udiyah), with office in Damascus, Syria.

The Communist Party also criticized the Saudi ruling family as being corrupt.
