Saudiska demonstranter
besköts (med svenska vapen..?)
SVD/UM 2012-07-27
Hundratals människor skadades och många greps när säkerhetsstyrkor öppnade eld mot demonstranter i Qatif östra Saudiarabien på fredagen.
I protest mot tidigare gripanden bar demonstranterna bilder av fängslade ledare däribland Nimr al-Nimr, gripen i början av månaden. Konfrontationerna har intensifierats i de oljerika östra delarna av landet.
Under året har flera demonstranter dödats. Sedan februari 2011 har demonstrationer hållits regelbundet, mestadels i Qatif och Awamiyah.
Man demonstrerar för att politiska fångar skall friges, för yttrandefrihet och mötesfrihet samt ett slut på den enorma diskrimineringen i landet.
Efterhand har protesterna vänts mot den repressiva Al Saud-regimen, särskilt efter november 2011 då säkerhetsstyrkorna mördade fem demonstranter och skadade ett stort antal andra.
- Enligt "Human Rights Watch" bestraffar Saudi-regimen rutinmässigt all kritik av de styrande i landet.

Beväpna frihetskämparna i
Saudiarabien!
Nu är det dags att beväpna demonstranterna i Saudiarabien. Sverige beväpnar vanligtvis konsekvent fel sida i alla konflikter... Nu finns chansen att göra det rätta...
Det behövs ett fredskrig i Saudiarabien. :)
Svensk media dreglar vanligtvis av lycka när de pratar om att beväpna rebeller. Syrien och Libyen är två exempel.
Nu finns chansen att beväpna Saudiarabiens rebeller!*
Saudiska säkerhetsstyrkor sköt rakt in i folksamlingen vid de senaste protesterna och skadade ett stort antal människor.
- Rebellerna behöver vapen för att kunna försvara sig och störta diktatorn!
- Rebellerna måste självklart beväpnas, precis som i Syrien och Libyen.
- Sen bör NATO omgående bomba "skiten ur shejken" så att rebellerna kan införa demokrati i en av världens brutalaste diktaturer.
När NATO väl fått upp sina plan i luften kan de även ta en sväng förbi Stockholm och bomba skiten ur Reinfeldt och hans anhang...

Saudi troops open fire on Qatif
protest, injure several protesters
Saudi security forces have opened fire on anti-regime demonstrations in the eastern city of Qatif, injuring several protesters.

The attack came after thousands of Saudi protesters took to the streets in Qatif on Friday, demanding the release of political prisoners, including a prominent Shia cleric.
Many demonstrators were also arrested in the crackdown.
On Thursday, thousands of protesters took to the streets in the city, calling for the release of political prisoners and the downfall of the US-backed monarchy.
Tensions are running high in Saudi Arabia's oil-rich Eastern Province in the past weeks following the detention of Shia cleric Sheikh Nemr al-Nemr.
Sheikh Nemr was attacked, injured and arrested by Saudi security forces while driving from a farm to his house in the Qatif region of Eastern Province on July 8.
His family members said he has been badly tortured in jail after they were allowed to visit him in prison. Sheikh Nemr is on hunger strike since July 19.
Since February 2011, protesters have held demonstrations on an almost regular basis in the Kingdom's east, mainly in Qatif and Awamiyah, calling for the release of all political prisoners, freedom of expression and assembly, and an end to widespread discrimination.
- However, the demonstrations have turned into protests against the repressive Al Saud regime, especially since November 2011, when Saudi security forces killed five protesters and injured many others in the oil-rich region.
According to Human Rights Watch, the Saudi regime “routinely represses expression critical of the government.”

Saudi riot police fire live rounds
on Shiite protesters in Qatif
RT 2012-07-27
Several demonstrators have been wounded in Saudi Arabia’s eastern district of Qatif after security forces opened fire on protesters. Officers fired live rounds at demonstrators who carried posters of those injured and arrested earlier this month.
Spokesmen for the Saudi Interior Ministry said several people were burning tires during the protests, and several arrests were made.
Among those arrested today was Mohammed al-Shakhuri, who is on a list of the country’s 23 most-wanted people, Al-Manar News reported. Witnesses said Shakhuri was taken to a military hospital with bullet wounds in his back and neck.
“There were no casualties,” the Interior Ministry said in a statement.
Clashes between police and protesters have increased in recent days, following the deaths of two protesters earlier this month.
Protests began in Saudi Arabia last March, when a Shia uprising in neighbouring Bahrain was crushed by Gulf troops, led by Saudi Arabia.
Demonstrations escalated earlier this month, after a prominent Shia cleric was arrested for being what the interior ministry deemed an “instigator of sedition.”His detainment has been the source of widespread demonstrations demanding an end to sectarian discrimination in the region.
Shia Muslims have long complained of marginalization at the hands of Saudi Arabia’s Sunni ruling family. They were demanding greater rights and an end to what they believe is discrimination by the rulers.
Political analyst Dr. Mohsen Saleh explains that the protests are taking place in the country’s major oil-producing region, where, at the same time, the poorest people live.
“The eastern part in Saudi Arabia has been agonizing for a long time, for centuries…They have been deprived of their basic rights,” he told RT.
“When the peaceful [protests] started in Bahrain, the Saudis thought [the same may happen in their country] – and they were right in thinking so, because they are discriminating against an essential part of their people in the east.
“And it’s an irony that all kinds of [carbohydrates – oil] and gas are produced there. [And still], these people are the poorest in their country. That’s why the [Saudi rulers] fear that the agony of these people might be a mark of a great revolution in Saudi Arabia.
And that’s what the United States and the Saudis are really afraid of,” he concluded.
The latest events in Saudi Arabia follow the eight latest arrests that were made Thursday in the United Arab Emirates, where the government announced an investigation into groups plotting crimes against the state.
Similar crackdowns have earlier taken place in Bahrain.
Crackdowns in Gulf States
expose double standards
While vigorously supporting rebellion in Syria, Gulf nations have little patience for political dissent at home, which reveals double standards and Western interests in the region, believes political analyst Omar Nashabe.
In an ongoing crackdown on opposition groups, the United Arab Emirates arrested eight activists, bringing the total to almost 40 rounded up by authorities. They are charged with plotting crimes against the state and opposing the constitution.
The arrests follow even harsher crackdowns in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where police dispersed recent demonstrations by force. Two people were killed by the Saudi police at a rare mass rally in the east of the country on Sunday, sparking further unrest.
In Bahrain, which has seen 17 months of protests, demonstrators clashed with police on Friday as the government moved to limit political marches.
People in all Arab countries have legitimate demands for democratic reforms and accountability, states Nashabe. However when violence enters the picture, things get out of hand, as happened in Syria. “It very difficult and problematic to rebuild everything after it has been destroyed,” he says.
The political analyst says that it is pure hypocrisy for the Gulf countries to support rebellion in Syria while there is dire need for reform at home.
“That’s a clear double standard. One doesn’t wish that this would happen in Saudi Arabia or in the Emirates because violence will only lead to more violence.”
Their stance reveals Western interests in the region, he believes. For example, despite legitimate demands for democracy in Bahrain, Western-controlled media tries not to put any emphasis on the uprising there because the country hosts the US Fifth Fleet.
Therefore these media try to portray the situation in Bahrain just as sectarian conflict between the majority Shia and ruling Sunni minority thus changing the reality of things.
