Senior Iranian Cleric Condemns Upholding of Saudi Cleric’s Death Ruling, still OK To hang women.(Fars).

Tehran's Provisional Friday Prayers leader Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani condemned Saudi Arabia for upholding the death sentence given to prominent Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, and warned Riyadh to change its decision.

Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people on Tehran University campus on Friday, Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani said, "We warn Saudi Arabia to be careful that in a country with over 30 percent of Shiite population it will have to pay a heavy price for executing a Shiite cleric."

Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani also blasted the so-called advocates of Human Rights for remaining silent about upholding the death sentence of Sheikh al-Nimr.

A court in Saudi Arabia upheld a death sentence given to Sheikh al-Nimr.

A Saudi court had recently sentenced Sheikh Nimr to death. However, the enforcement of the ruling has been postponed.

The senior Shiite cleric is accused of delivering anti-government speeches and defending political prisoners. Hmmmm....Can't have clerics being hanged what is this world coming to?
