Saudi Arabia executes prominent Shiite cleric among dozens of others

A prominent Shiite cleric was among the 47 prisoners executed in Saudi Arabia Saturday after they were convicted of terrorism charges.
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr was a central figure in the 2011 Arab Spring-inspired protests in Saudi Arabia. The execution has sparked condemnation from several Muslim leaders in the Middle East and could kick off new unrest among the kingdom’s Shiite minority.
Iran had already warned that the execution of al-Nimir would deepen the rift between Tehran and Riyadh. Iran said last year that al-Namir’s execution would “cost Saudi Arabia dearly,” according to Reuters.
Iranian cleric Ahmad Khatami called on the Muslim world to denounce the execution of al-Namir. He also said the Saudi ruling family would be “wiped from the pages of history.”
“I have no doubt that this pure blood stain will stain the collar of the House of Saud and wipe them from the page of history,” Khatami was quoted by the Mehr news agency.
