Foot on pedal, 10-year-old Murtaja Qureiris is about to lead the group of around 30 children. In video footage obtained by CNN, he is wearing rolled up denim jeans and black flip-flops on his feet, and grinning at the camera recording the event. It may look like a regular bike ride, but the group is staging a protest.

Moments after they set off, Qureiris gets lost in the sea of boys, struggling to keep up as he lifts a megaphone and presses it against his lips. The people demand human rights! he shouts.

As a boy, Qureiris participated in demonstrations like this bike ride, expressions of dissent in Saudi Arabias Eastern Province during the 2011 Arab Spring.

Three years after he was filmed taking part in the bike protest, Saudi authorities arrested Qureiris, then just 13 years old. He was traveling with his family to Bahrain when he was detained by Saudi border authorities on the King Fahd causeway that connects the two countries.

At the time, he was considered by lawyers and activists to be the youngest known political prisoner in Saudi Arabia.

Though the prosecution has not held Qureiris responsible for any loss of life, CNN has learned that it is seeking to impose the harshest form of the death penalty, which may include crucifixion or dismemberment after execution. Prosecutors argued that his sowing of sedition warranted the worst possible punishment, according to the kingdoms strict interpretation of Islamic Sharia law.

A charge sheet recommending the death penalty was presented to Qureiris just months before his 18th birthday. Another of his brothers has also been jailed, and his father was detained last year, according to activists.

At least one year and three months of Qureiris detention has been spent in solitary confinement, CNN has learned.

Most of the demonstrators are masked. Murtaja and his father are barefaced, something that may have made it easier for the family to become ensnared in the governments crackdown on activists.

Murtaja (Qureiris) was one of the only people who didnt wear masks during the protests, recalled activist Mohammad Daman. And he was always with his dad (Abdullah).

In the footage, Abdullah is dressed in a brown thobe normally reserved for the elders of an Arab tribe, and speaking into a megaphone while another protester holds a Quran over his head.

We pledge to the martyrs that we will continue our marches, says Abdullah Qureiris.

Standing next to him is Murtaja Qureiris with a ski mask on his head, having apparently removed it from his face. He glances at the camera, smiles, and walks away, unaware of what was to face him in the future.

They are also about to or maybe now already have...execute like 3 political people who were very skilled college students. Basically these people could grow up to improve the world, they are that smart and gifted. And their school begged and pleaded not to waste their lives. But the government craves their deaths just cause they protested for democracy

Wouldn't this potentially make him a martyr if they go through with it? Sounds like Saudi Arabia government is about to make their last biggest mistake.

The kid knew what happened to protesters in SA. He chose to do it anyway and will face the consequences.

Actually his father took him on those early protests. Also in America we say you are not responsible for decisions at age 10

A kid can't legally choose to do that. He was considered dragged along under Western laws

And in Western law 10 and 13 are the same thing. Still a child

The crown is doomed if they institute that level of punishment on a mere activist, they would be fools to try because it will be the royals themselves that will eventually be crucified or chopped up and nobody would miss them not even Trump, he only wanted their oil and the new regime will give him the oil anyway. Similar actions got the French nobility's heads chopped off in the distant past.

I had the order of my quotes wrong. I saw that he was 10 when it happened.
