KSA Threatens Demonstrators with ’’Iron Fist’’
Defending its police ruthless brutality against peaceful demonstrators, Saudi Arabia's interior ministry threatened to use an "iron fist against any protest."
In its statement Tuesday, the ministry viewed that "it is the state's right to confront those that confront it first... and the Saudi Arabian security forces will confront such situations ... with determination and force and with an iron first."
An interior ministry spokesman said the statement was released in reaction to a last week sermon delivered in the Qatif region in the Eastern Province, which took a swipe at the Saudi government's handling of the protests.
Pointing a finger of blame at protesters, the minister neglected all recent information regarding the abduction of several anti-regime protesters in the kingdom's eastern province of Safwa.
Since February 2011, Saudi protesters have held demonstrations on an almost regular basis in the oil-rich Eastern Province, mainly in Qatif and the town of Awamiyah, calling for the release of all political prisoners, freedom of expression and assembly, and an end to widespread discrimination.
Saudi protesters also want an end to economic and religious discrimination against the oil-rich region. Several demonstrators have been killed and scores of activists have been arrested since the beginning of protests in the region.
