Hizbullah Urges Release of Saudi Cleric, Slams Kingdom’s ‘Undemocratic’ Actions against Citizens
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah voiced on Monday its concern over Saudi Arabia’s actions against religious figures in the kingdom, the last of which was the “wrongful” arrest of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.
It urged the Saudi authorities to “halt the undemocratic actions against the peaceful and legitimate demands of Saudi citizens,” calling on them to respect religious figures.
Nimr has not committed any crime, all he asked was the minimum amount of civil rights that are stipulated by all international laws, added the party.
He is seeking to end the discrimination of Saudi authorities against citizens, it said.
It slammed the “violence of the security forces against the peaceful protests in al-Qatif region, which led to deaths and injuries” among the people.
Hizbullah therefore demanded the immediate release of Nimr.
A prominent Shiite cleric and critic of the Saudi government, Nimr, was arrested in Saudi Arabia’s eastern province on Sunday, reported Agence France Presse.
Two people were killed and a dozen other protesters were wounded during the clashes that erupted when police opened fire to disperse a demonstration against the cleric’s arrest.

Can't believe what I'm reading..... Hezbollah talking about democracy?
The assassination death squad that carried out the murder of a former Prime Minister, and other political opponents and journalists.
The terrorist organization that has been linked to numerous terror activities around the world (Argentina, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, etc).
The mafiosa crime syndicate that has been linked to the drug trade and money laundering in South America and elsewhere.
The militia group that started a war which caused billions of dollars in damages, and many lives lost, without the consent or approval of the government.
The insurgent group that turned their arms against their own people on May 7 because they didn't like some decisions made by the government.
The foreign sponsored traitors that peformed a coup d'etat against the elected government in 2011 to try to stop the STL.
No mention about crimes against peaceful protestors in Syria or Iran?
Hypocrites!

Dear Nasrallah, I totally support you when you say that the Shia cleric should be released. This is totally against uncivilized, undemocratic and can never be justified.
However, I would expect you to say the same when the cleric is not Shia, but from another sect or religion. For example, about the Christian pastor that has been sentenced to death in your beloved country Iran (See today's Naharnet news article titled "U.S. Urges Iran to Release Christian Pastor"). However, since I know that you are nothing but a hypocrite with a strong sectarian view, I know you will never criticize this arrest by Iran. That is why I will never take you seriously. You and your followers on this forum.

Calling for democracy and the respect for freedom of expression in the middle east, is a silly formula that = (hypocrisy x sectarian interests)...
And this is valid for all parties in leb and the region...
Yes the syrian children dying were never lamented by anyone who pretend caring about the souls of the Arabs...
If Israel have been the cause of a fraction of these casualities, it would have been the big scandal in every party's mind...
The situation in syria shows clearly the ridiculous minds in every political party... It unfolds the real intentions and visions... None of them cares about poor dying souls in the region, they just care about their religious sect wining the maximum political and demographic ground...
And they exploit the situation as it suits them...
All parties involved!!!!
Shame...
