In the shocking & sad news , a Saudi Interior Ministry released , a statement on Saturday saying that the death sentence, which was implemented on Saturday morning in the 12 area, against 47 civilians, including Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr
Since the execution of the sentence was at the beginning of a new year which we wanted it to be a year of peace and Review as we hoped, but we were surprised by the announcement on the implementation of death sentences against political activists and human rights defenders
INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL SUPPORTING FAIR TRIAL and HUMAN RIGHTS put this whole matter in front of the international community and the UN Secretary-General and the UN Security Council and the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Council of Human Rights and the Organization of the Islamic Conference and And all governmental bodies and civil international organizations concerned with human rights to familiarize themselves with their historical responsibilities in addressing what is happening to target to international peace and security and the rights of human beings and their lives
