Saudi Arabia has executed the prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, the interior ministry said.
He was among 47 people put to death after being convicted of terrorism offences, it said in a statement.
Sheikh Nimr was a vocal supporter of the mass anti-government protests that erupted in Eastern Province in 2011, where a Shia majority have long complained of marginalisation.
Shia-led Iran said Saudi Arabia would pay a "high price" for the execution.
A foreign ministry spokesman said Riyadh "supports terrorists... while executing and suppressing critics inside the country".
empty rhetoric
>Saudi kill shiites
>Iran kills sunnites
More news at eleven
And why should i care
>Saudi Arabia punishing terrorists
Now THIS is an early April fools joke!

>le saudi arabia supports terrorists meme
Honestly this is ridiculous. Are there private individuals within Saudi Arabia who support Salafi jihadist bullshit? Yes. The same can be said for most western countries as well, to claim the crown supports terrorism is baseless and shouldn't be taken seriously (especially coming from fucking Iran of all places).

He wasn't a terrorist, he was labelled as one because he led protests against the Saud family.

You're honestly retarded, their payroll of terrorists is well documented

Terrorising a terrorist makes you a terrorist to the terrorised.

Put up or shut up Iran.

>well documented
I'm sure you would like to provide this documentation then? Oh wait, there isn't any other than Western bias against monarchism and traditional values.
No love lost on KSA, but Iran isn't exactly one to complain about executions.
more like sheikh nomore lmao
arabs killing arabs is always good news

Nonwhite detected. There are countless proofs, but I'm too lazy to get them while on my phone. The satisfaction of me knowing I'm right is more than enough for me

>there are countless proofs
>b-but i'm not going to bother showing them to you
>b-by the way racism
Okay friend.

The reason why people are pissed is because they executed him on false charges, mainly because he was a vocal critic of the Saudi royal family while also being a top Shia cleric.

*tips fedora* you only have to simply look
>>52994299
Oh sure, there's context. KSA whips/beheads people over dumb shit regularly. The country deserves to burn and I'd be happy to see it.
I'm just saying the Iranians of all people complaining is the pot calling the kettle black. Unless you think Iranian death-sentences tend to have more virtuous rationales?
>saudi kills a shia and 50 sunni jihadi
>reddit twists that into saudi supporting jihadis
wew

It's not about the actual societies in question. Saudi Arabia as well as Iran execute a lot of people every year, most notably gays.
The reason there is an outcry for the Shia cleric is because it was a purely political move. He was found guilty on false charges.
Saudi Arabia is trying to impose itself on Iran. They used him as bait for Iran to do something about it.

Who cares? Shia are scum.
