(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Mehmanparast expressed hope that the Saudi Arabian government would take the measures necessary to meet legitimate public demands and refrain from using violence against the people.
According to the Telegraph, Saudi Arabia has been thrown into turmoil after two people were killed on Monday when police opened fire on demonstrators protesting the shooting and arrest of a popular anti-regime cleric.
The detention of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr triggered the worst unrest in the kingdom’s Eastern Province for months, prompting fears that the long-marginalized region could erupt in open revolt.
Hundreds of men marched through the centre of the city of Qatif, chanting “Down, Down with the House of Saud” and “Death to Al Saud”, a rare direct challenge to the kingdom’s royal family.
