Saudi Arabia condemns Russian comments on shiite unrest

Share:

Saudi Arabia on Saturday condemned comments by Russia’s human rights envoy on the situation in the kingdom as “hostile” and an unjustified interference in the kingdom’s internal affairs, the Saudi state news agency (SPA) reported.

The rare public exchange appeared to reflect tensions over the 16-month-old uprising in Syria where Russia has resisted introduction of Western- and Arab-backed sanction against President Bashar al-Assad.

Russian Human Rights envoy Konstantin Dolgov had expressed “great concern” about the situation in eastern Saudi Arabia following what he described as clashes between law enforcement and peaceful demonstrators in which two people were killed and more than 20 were wounded, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry website.

The Saudi interior ministry has said there were no clashes but that two people were killed by unknown assailants last Sunday in the east, where the country’s minority Muslim Shi’ite population is concentrated.

“The Kingdom learned with strong astonishment and surprise about the comment by the Russian Foreign Ministry’s representative on human rights which represents a blatant and unjustified intervention … in the internal affairs of the kingdom,” SPA quoted a Foreign Ministry statement, attributed to an “official source”, as saying.

The agency said the government of Saudi Arabia condemned such comments as “hostile”.

“The kingdom hopes that this strange comment was not intended to divert attention from the savage and ugly massacres that the Syrian regime is practising against its own people with support and backing from known parties that are obstructing any honest effort to end the bloodshed of the Syrian people.”

Russia has blocked two U.N. Security Council moves to press Assad to end his crackdown. Saudi Arabia has been in the forefront of Arab countries backing the rebels.

Dolgov had said that people in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia were protesting “against the existing, according to their opinion, impairment of the rights of the Shi’ite community on the part of the authorities of the Kingdom”.

Saudi Arabia had said that minor protests had taken place after the arrest of a cleric on charges of sedition, and after he and a group with him opened fire on police.

It said that two men who had been killed were shot dead by unknown assailants and an investigation into who killed them was underway.

        I agree with most of what you have said, however in terms of the slaughtering of innocent people at the hands of Russia, China and Iran I don’t. The Innocent is being killed by mercenary’s known as free Syrian Ass Holes. They are employed by those Saudi and Qatar pigs. And who do they belong to, the US and Israel. They are the ones who have sanctioned the killing in Syria. But if you keep reading and believing the fabricated western media, they will tell you other wise.

          I never said the bath regime has to go… a Yemeni style transition is good…. That way no puppet dictators loyal to the Zionists take power… But the killing should stop and i blame both sides… See right now neither side is willing to back down Syria is there country and there going to destroy it do to the hardheadedness and allowing foreign powers to trick the FSA  into fighting with Assad in staid of Dialogue…

         When I see the Syrian children on youtube It hurts a lot… I would like to consider all Muslims Sunni Shia one.. I would also like Bashar to step down and make a transition… The Al Saud monarchy is making the Fitna vilifying Shia Muslims even before the Syrian uprising…  Tell me one time Al Saud has even said one word to Israel? Al Saud only attack Muslims… and have never defended Palestinians not one time…

          Moe, why the hell should Assad step down. Because the animal west wants him to. Most of the people in Syria support him. If he steps down the US and Israel with put in place another puppet. And if that happens Iran and H/A will be next God Forbid. If the world is so concerned About democracy why don’t start with some of the gulf countries. Maybe they should ask some of those ass holes to step down.

      Moe, That Saudi Dog will soon see his demise. Its only a matter of time. Have you seen the new missile Iran has built. They called it The Gulf. I will let you guess why they called it that.  
      As far as arming the protestors goes. That will come from Syria as pay back. As the saying goes “what goes around comes around”.

    More than 17000 Syrian are killed under the Russian supervision but the hypocrite is more concerned about two Shia killed in Saudi Arabia. Iran Hezbushaitan and the Syrian regime are inciting the Shias in Saudi Arabia thus creating a pretext to invade the oil rich country with the help of the Russian.

    This is where the Europeans are concerned and eventually this situation will force the Europeans to make a treaty with the Muslim resistance in attacking Iran and Russia.The USA and UK with current administration are pro Russian and like in the past during Russian invasion to Afghanistan the USA will secretly help the Russian but outwardly they will take all the credit. 

    The invasion of Saudi Arabia by the Syrian and Iranian regime with Russian help will not only expose the Shia of Dajjal among the sunnis but also the Saudi Army will be free to act against the injustice just as the Iraqi resistance, Afghan resistance and the Free Syrian Army are doing. These unrest in the middle east will will destroy the border patrol and Immigration system thus it will be easy for the Mujaheddin to move around the region with out a visa!! As long as the army is under the control of the subservient government they wont be able to act on their own against the injustice rather they have to obey the command of the Government and these commands are in fact coming from the Superpower and through the UN. We all need to go through the UN even though we know that they are fraud. Therefore the Army must be separated from the command of the government so Iran Russia and Dog bashar will be loser again to see a Free Arabian Army!! 

    The resistance of Chechnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria are not under any command of UN or US and thats why we see a great resistance. Inshallah we will see a resistance from Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia,Morocco and from many more places. As long as the Army is under the control of the government we will see this dirty game such as :Arab League is sending observers ,UN is sending observers and they are doing shopping in the Syrian Market places. The Mujaheddin will take direct action and observe the outcome of a IED aftermath.

      No one needs anything from Saudi Arabia… But the eastern province will be freed from the Saud Dajjal…. They should rename the country to it’s proper name prior to the Saud family naming it… Hijaz Arabia!!!
