Even these limited efforts are obstructed by the hardline Wahhabi camp, which controls the security forces, the judiciary system, and the real levers of domestic power. Indeed, Prince Naif, the Minister of the Interior and leader of the hardliners, has either silenced or imprisoned hundreds of the key Saudi reformers.
但这些有限的努力却也遭到强硬派瓦哈比阵营的阻挠，瓦哈比控制了安全部队、司法体系，并操纵着国内权力的真正控制杆。事实上，内政大臣兼强硬派领导人纳伊夫亲王（Prince Naif）已经压制或拘禁了数百名重要的沙特改革派人物。
