KABUL: (MEP) Saudi Arabia began the year 2016 with its immoral acts and committed inhumanity and absolute callousness actions while at the beginning of the year almost all countries of the world are in holidays.
In late 2015, Saudi Arabia had announced ceasefire in Yemen and somehow let the country in peace; however, they have carried out 153 executions during the year and have killed a large number of Yemeni citizens, including children and women.
Saudi Arabia will be facing major reactions towards its sickening activities and is about to be waned.
At the beginning of current year [which only a few days passed], the Saudis committed actions far from all human rights such as the brutal execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, a spiritual freedom seeker in Saudi Arabia and the resumption of the war in Yemen and the abolition of the ceasefire in the country.
Sheikh Nimr’s crime was justice and fairness! He neither pulled out the sword from the sheath nor did he take up arms until the Saudi regime took his life away cruelty.
He preached on justice for saving his fellows lives and called people for righteousness, but why Saudi regime killed and beheaded him and for what crime?
Ignorance and cruelty cause atrocity in the regime that in the way of control and continuity of their infamous lives, execute their countrymen on convictions charges.
This applies in particular the execution of a number of liberals in the kingdom that their only sin was freedom and justice of the House of Saud, led to many reactions.
