MEP: A court in Saudi Arabia has reportedly sentenced 14 people to death in a Shia-populated area of Qatif in the kingdom on Wednesday, the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television reported.
The kingdom has triggered a diplomatic catastrophe and international outcry after executing prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr along with 46 others in January in defiance of international calls for their release.
