Saudi government executed a large number of alleged terrorists yesterday, including an outspoken critic of the government. The 47 year old cleric rebuked the royal family for its treatment of minority groups in Saudi Arabia. With little legal representation or proper defense proceedings, the alleged criminals were executed in secret without any outside witnesses or media representatives. Protests begin almost immediately in Iran, where protesters stormed the Saudi embassy and set it on fire.
The Saudi government called the Iranian ambassador to the palace in Riyadh where he was subjected to harsh criticisms for his government's lack of protection for the diplomatic compound in the capitol of Tehran. These executions were the largest carried out in decades, and the most since the ascension of the new king in Saudi Arabia, King Salman. Increased crackdown on dissension and terrorism send a message to those who would foment terrorist activities will be dealt with harshly, including immediate execution without legal recourse, despite flimsy charges and ambiguous evidence to support the charges. In other words, nobody is safe in saudi Arabia from the whims of the royal family. What an abuse of the term "royal".
The Middle East and its governments continue their mission to abuse humanity.
