Saudi Arabia's verdict over Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr's death execution have caused a ruckus over the weekend. Shia demonstrators have shown their protest against the decision of Saudi Arabia by bombarding the state's embassy in Iran.
Sheik Nimr, according to BBC, have been condemned because of terrorism acts. As described by the website, the Shia cleric was open in demonstrating and supporting groups for anti-government protests. This started due to the reason of large marginalization with Shia people and arose last 2011 in the Eastern province.
According to the reports of The New York Times, the act of executing 47 people to death, among them was Sheik Nimr, was one of the way of the monarch to control the violence which is uprising against the state. However, his death would not be simply put as one's death. The death of Sheik Nimr have immense consequence.
As it was demonstrated, Iranians were displeased because of this action by the Saudi Arabia. The protesters went to Saudi embassy in Tehran to raid and bombard the place.
On the other hand, another party may be involved in the death execution of Sheik Nimr. Based on CBC, Canadian diplomats have been part over the course of deciding on what to do with the case of Sheik Nimr. Documents related to the issue suggest that it seems like the Canadian diplomats have overlooked over their action with the case. It appears that the diplomats have thought that the Saudi authorities would not push through with Sheik Nimr death execution and would eventually revoke it. However, Canadian diplomats have failed to consider the gravity of their decision.
Now, as per the report of CBC, Tony Clement (Canadian federal politician and Member of Parliament of the Conservative Party of Canada) have called on to the government of Canada to do something over the issue. Clement believed that what happened is against political and basic human rights.
Sheik Nimr death execution have caused people of Shia to protest against Saudi Arabia. His death which was due because of his terrorism acts have been made by the Saudi officials to control violence in the state.
