Shedding of a pure blood

The Al Saud regime, in an act of extreme cruelty and without minding the feelings of the Islamic world, executed Sheikh Nimr Baqer Al-Nimr, the eminent Arabian clergyman for chimerical accusations of disturbing security and supporting terrorism, despite the increasing objections from Muslims. He, who only fought for vindication of legitimate rights of Shias, opposing discrimination and injustice in Arabia, was unjustly accused of sedition and disturbing general security. The news of this restless clergyman martyrdom, who was chased and wounded by security forces of Saudi regime in an armed assault to his car which was carrying him home and was then kept in an unknown place in July 2012, was finally announced in 2 January 2016.
Numerous executions, imprisoning the protestors objecting the violation of human rights in the country, propagating extremist ideologies and religious-sectarian biases, helping autocratic regimes to return to power in the region, Strong financial and logistical support of Takfiri groups, Repression of the revolt and the Islamic awakening of defenseless and oppressed people of Bahrain and finally ruthless murdering of poor people of Yemen are all only a part of numerous examples of violating the human rights by the Saudis in the past 10 month while nobody dares to object or oppose these acts; that`s because such acts have all been done by consulting to western masters of Al Saud including the American. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the biggest violator of human rights, is elected as Chair of the United Nations Human Rights Council panel by aid of extensive lobbying and oil dollars. The human rights situation in Saudi Arabia is such a catastrophic mess that even American think tanks like Foundation for Defense of Democracies have warned of the dangerous consequences regarding the "continuation of USA`s renunciation and waiver” towards the violation of human rights by the Saudi Arabia`s government. The false and chimerical nature of Saudis` accusations against Sheikh Nimr is so evident that even the Arab Organization for Human Rights considered his execution a dangerous and unprecedented act, announcing that such executions in Saudi Arabia are against international laws and ethics. It can be seen by a glance that seven thousand members of Al Saud royal family ruling over 27 million populations in the country, apart from controlling all other critical affairs, have in their hands the galactic wealth from selling oil and gas and all the trades in the country without the presence of any selective institution or people`s surveillance. In recent years, violating human rights along with violating the primary rights of about three million Shias resulted in people protests following the Islamic awakening wave in this country. Because of intellectual suffocation and lack of speech liberty, many prisoners were arrested guilty of free speech and presence in protests. According to the documents of Human Rights Watch, in this period some Arabian prisoners have been mistreated with various torments by security officers of Saudi regime and some others like Sheikh Nimr have been executed without defending themselves in a righteous court. While it is said that Sheikh Nimr had prepared a one hundred pages defense letter to reply his charges, the Saudis did not even give him time to defense.
In the end, it should be said that the martyrdom and the pure blood of such a pious and learned clergyman will have many consequences on Arabia`s internal affairs, and probably from now, the peaceful atmosphere of protests will transform into armed fights to revenge Sheikh Nimr martyrdom, and therefore Arabia must pay a heavy price for its idiotic act.
