من المؤمنین رجال صدقوا ما عاهدوا الله علیه فمنهم من قضی نحبه و منهم من ینتظر.
We have been aware the Public Prosecutor's Office in Saudi Arabia, in an unprecedented and dangerous action, has demanded the death penalty for prominent Cleric “Hujjatul-Islam Sheikh Nimr Baqir Al-Nimr” for so-called ‘waging war on Allah’ (Muharibah).
I believe it as an inequitable action for all Muslims both Shia and Sunni and I know arrogant power dictate it to Saudi Monarchy, but it is to eradicate the Ulama of Islam and safeguards of the religion of Allah that it Islam, so I condemn it and urge Muslims and freedom seekers of the world particularly Muslims in Saudi Arabia to protest against the Saudi administration.
Mohammad Ali Alavi Gorgani
Prominent Shia Cleric “Hujjatul-Islam Sheikh Nimr Baqir Al-Nimr” last week, 8 months after his illegal detention, was present in Special Criminal Court to investigate terrorism cases in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
According to ABNA, the representative of the Attorney General indicted several charges against Sheikh Nimr Baqir Al-Nimr, most notably are "incentive in Qatif," "draw foreign intervention and support of the uprising in Bahrain," and asked the court to sentence 55-year Al-Nimr to death for Muharibah.
