KSA’s Brutality Continues: Two New Martyrs in Qatif

Local Editor

Saudi Police martyred two civilian men in the Qatif region of the kingdom's Eastern Province, bringing the death toll of the country's latest protests to five.
New protests broke out in the area following the death of two protesters.

This comes as demonstrators marched late Tuesday in the towns of Shweika and Awamiya calling on authorities to hand over the bodies of the two protesters killed in clashes with police this week.

24-year-old Ali al-Felfel and a 9-year-old girl were shot dead in a demonstration in Qatif in the late hours of Monday.

Saudi forces also killed 19-year-old Nasser al-Mahishi in the city on Sunday night.

Ali Abdullah al-Qarayrees, 26, from Awamiya town, and Munib al-Sayyed al-Adnan, 20, from Shweika, "were shot by security forces during demonstrations," witnesses said.

The interior Saudi ministry statement warned Thursday of a "deterrent response to those who consider breaking the law, and that security forces have been authorized to deal with the situation."

"The interior ministry realizes that the aim of those trouble-makers is to cause futile confrontations between the people and security forces, as ordered by their masters abroad," the statement claimed.

The eastern parts of the kingdom have been the scene of anti-government protests over the past months, with demonstrators urging implementation of human rights reforms, realization of freedom of expression as well as the release of political prisoners.

Saudi activists say there are more than 30,000 political prisoners, mostly prisoners of conscious, in jails across the kingdom.

According to human rights campaigners, most of detained political thinkers are being held without trial or legitimate charges and have been arrested on grounds of mere suspicion.
