All Saudi tribes, Sunnis, Shiites are tired of zionist server Al-Saud administering the country.


The brother of prominent detained Shiite cleric Sheikh Nemr al-Nemr said people in the Muslim state are furious at the corruption and tyrannical rule of the al-Saud family and want to put an end to this situation, adding that discontent with the regime is no way exclusive to the Shiite Muslims.

Mohammad al-Nemr told the Arabic paper, Al-Akhbar, that the ongoing pressures and repression which have made the Saudi Shiites pour to the streets is not limited to the Shiite community. “Rather this has become a widespread phenomenon.”

“All Saudi tribes and Sunnis are protesting at the manner the al-Saud is administering the country and they are all angry with this family’s corruption,” he continued.

He said protests in Eastern Saudi Arabia are just part of the problems of the Arab state, and the Muslim nation will witness more protests across the country in coming days.

Elaborating on his brother’s comments, he said Sheikh Nemr has frequently called on Riyadh to stop trampling upon the rights of the Shiite community, and asked them “to either restore our rights or allow us to separate from Saudi Arabia”.

Mohammad al-Nemr had also on Friday urged the Shiite community to continue protests against the Saudi dictators.

Addressing people in the Awamiyah mosque a few days after his brother was attacked, injured, and arrested by Saudi security forces while driving from a farm to his house in the Qatif region of the Eastern Province on July 8, Mohammad condemned the Saudi officials’ lies about armed clashes with his brother and his security guards, and said, “These are the bullets that you fired at innocent people. Where are the bullets that we fired at you?”

On Saturday, Saudi protesters held an anti-regime demonstration.

The demonstrators took to the streets in Buraydah, about 380 kilometers (236 miles) Northwest of the capital Riyadh.

Tension has been high in the Eastern Province since Nemr’s detention with almost daily anti-regime demonstrations in the oil-rich region.

At least four people have been killed and many others injured in the crackdown on demonstrations against the detention of the cleric.

The Eastern Province has been the epicenter of anti-regime protests since last year. Saudi protesters are demanding the release of all political prisoners, freedom of expression and assembly, and an end to economic and religious discrimination against the eastern region.

The demonstrations, however, have turned into calls for the ouster of the House of Saud. The people’s anger with the royal family increased after the massacre of peaceful protesters in the troubled region in November 2011.

Anti-regime protests continue in the ultra-conservative monarchy, where any demonstrations or political gatherings are strongly prohibited and met with repressive force.

According to Human Rights Watch, the Saudi regime “routinely represses expression critical of the government.”
