Islamic Awakening Assembly Raps Mass Executions in Saudi Arabia
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The World Assembly of Islamic Awakening condemned the mass execution of people, including Shiite adolescents, in Saudi Arabia, denouncing the muted response from international organizations and the so-called advocates of human rights.
In a statement on Monday, Secretary General of the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening Ali Akbar Velayati condemned Saudi Arabia’s execution of 81 oppressed and Muslims people, including Shiite adolescents.
Such a brazen massacre lays bare the true face of the Saudi statesmen, he stated, adding that the horrific crime will go down in history.
Velayati described the mass execution as a proof of the fake support for human rights voiced by those who ordered and perpetrated the crime.
He also denounced the silence of the international organizations and the so-called human rights institutions on the Saudi mass execution and the other crimes against the regional Muslim nations, such as in Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Velayati further called for Muslim unity against such inhumane measures.
The state-run Saudi Press Agency said in an announcement on Saturday that Saudi Arabia had executed 81 prisoners in a single day over ‘terror-related offenses,’ in the largest mass execution carried out by the highly-conservative Arab kingdom in recent memory.
