RNA - Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of the Islamic Schools of Thought hailed the leading role of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr in reinforcing resistance movement adding: “the reason behind the execution of Nimr was that he always used to speak in favor of the oppressed and against the crul regime of Al-Saud."

According to secretary general of the World Forum for Proximity of the Islamic Schools of Thought, “one of the main policies of Saudi Regime is to hide its crimes and corruptions both in and outside of the country.”

Saudi Arabia has executed Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr along 46 other people in defiance of international calls for the release of the prominent Shia cleric and other jailed political dissidents in the kingdom.

Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr , a critic of the Riyadh regime, was shot by Saudi police and arrested in 2012 in the Qatif region of Shia-dominated Eastern Province, which was the scene of peaceful anti-regime demonstrations at the time.

He was charged with instigating unrest and undermining the kingdom’s security, making anti-government speeches and defending political prisoners. He had rejected all the charges as baseless.

In 2014, a Saudi court sentenced Sheikh Nimr to death, provoking widespread global condemnations. The sentence was upheld last March by the appeal court of Saudi Arabia.
