Activists: S. Arabia’s Anti-terrorism Law Excludes Terrorists Sent to Syria

The new anti-terrorism law recently approved by Riyadh doesn’t include those Takfiri and Salafi terrorists who are sent to Syria and merely prevents their return to Saudi Arabia, activists complained.
“The law approved in Saudi Arabia to fight against terrorism excludes the terrorists who are dispatched to Syria under the name of Jihad and it includes those who will return to the country (after fighting in Syria),” a female Saudi activist told FNA on the condition of anonymity due to the fear for her life.

She further complained that while the Saudi regime bans Saudi writers and activists from traveling abroad, it facilitates the Takfiri and “Jihadi” terrorists’ transfer to Syria.

Syria has repeatedly warned of the Saudi regime’s support and instigation of terrorism in violation of the international resolutions, saying that since the beginning of the crisis, it has sent a number of letters to the UN and Security Council affirming that the Saudi regime is involved in the crimes perpetrated by the terrorist groups in Syria.

Syria’s Permanent Envoy to the UN Bashar al-Jaafari said in January that the Saudi regime is involved in instigating people to terrorism and sending the terrorists to Syria under the pretext of Jihad, including “the sex jihad”.

“Those issues became confirmed starting from the statement of the Saudi foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal who admitted twice in Cairo that Saudi Arabia is arming the opposition… it is a clear confession,” al-Jaafari told al-Mayadeen TV.

He stressed that Saudi Arabia is instigating people to terrorism and perpetrating massacres in Syria, adding that the so-called “the Islamic Front” is also a terrorist organization.
