RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News, Ayatollah Hasan Mamdouhi, a member of the Assembly of Experts, stated the ruling House of Saud has no merit and that through their many crimes, the government of Saudi Arabia has contributed to their own downfall.

His Eminence added that the House of Saud are cowards who are obedient to the arrogant powers, adding at Saudi Arabia is continuing its crimes against the people of Yemen and Bahrain on the order of the United States and Israel.

“For this same reason, the silence of the world in regard to Saudi Arabia’s crimes is impermissible,” he said.

Ayatollah Mamdouhi explained that Ayatollah Nimr Baqir al-Nimr is a prominent scholar and a warrior, and added that he has never given up his beliefs and support of Islam. “Undoubtedly, the House of Saud is terrified of such actions,” he stated.

The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom said both Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims have condemned the Saudi regime’s  actions with a single voice and are ready to respond and react harshly to the crimes of the rulers of Saudi Arabia.

He also referred to the tragic stampede in Mina and said: “Unfortunately, the rulers of Saudi do not respect and value Muslims, and even in the Sacred House of God, they martyred Hajj pilgrims in painful way. Thus, we must stand up against their evil actions.”

Ayatollah Mamdouhi said that with the support of Ayatollah al-Nimr, Muslims throughout the world have become aware of the crimes committed by the House of Saud.

He stressed that the House of Saud must know that we will not remain silent against their crimes and that we condemn their evil actions. Saudi rulers know well that the end of their rule is soon and therefore, by keeping Ayatollah al-Nimr imprisoned, they are attempting to maintain their survival but they are unaware that by implementing this sentence, their rule will end.

The representative of Kermanshah in the Assembly of Experts stated that Islamic scholars and clerics play a very serious role in the support of Ayatollah al-Nimr, stressing that silence in the face of the imprisonment and wounding of this Shi’ite scholar is not permissible and the crimes committed by the House of Saud must be heard by the entire world.
