The Arabian Peninsula People's Union (Arabic: اتحاد الشعب في الجزيرة العربية) was a Nasserist[1] political party in Saudi Arabia.[2] The APPU was founded in 1959[3] by Nasser Al Saeed whilst in exile in Beirut. Saeed had been exiled due to his leadership of the ARAMCO strikes in 1956.[4] The APPU was regarded as one of the most important and most diverse opposition groups.[3]
