Kashmir protesters call on Saudi Arabia to free Sheikh Al-Nimr

Hundreds of people took part in the procession in Budgam Town of Kashmir to ‪#‎FreeNimr‬.

People in Indian-controlled Kashmir have condemned a Saudi prosecutor's demand of the death penalty for senior Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqir-al-Nimr. He is an outspoken critic of Saudi rulers.

The demonstrators took to streets after Friday prayers in central Kashmir’s Budgam area, calling for the immediate release of the Shia cleric.
