    Saudi Arabia executes 47 prisoners in one day.

    Protest in Tehran after Saudis execute Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr, 46 others | CNN
    http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/02/middleeast/saudi-arabia-executes-dozens-terror/index.html
    Saudi Arabia said Saturday it had executed 47 people in a single day, including a dissident Shiite cleric, Nimr al-Nimr, who had repeatedly spoken out against the government and the Saudi royal family.


    It is a pretty profound display of weakness and insecurity by Saudi Arabia. The ruling elites know a lot of people are upset with the government for carrying on wars in Yemen and Syria plus there are a lot of people upset that the government has cut back subsidies and the free cash give aways. Then there were shi'ia protesters who were peacefully protesting for an end to discrimination against their community so the authoritarian government carried out a show trial and today executed the peaceful protest leader.

    I don't see how any of this leads to anything good and more than anything it just show the corrupt elites are scared and desperately trying to pretend they are strong. It is a really ducked up country full of really ****ed up people who all believe some pretty ****ed up and barbaric stuff. Sadly, the house of Saud can't or won't change any thing meaningful while who ever eventually replaces them will likely be even worse. The government is still actively promoting Salafism which virtually every Sunni terrorist group in the world follows. It's a ****ing mess.

    Did they execute terrorists, or people who support terrorism?

      Saudi officials said that the 47 executions were carried out at 12 sites after convictions for terror acts.

          They were people accused of being terrorist along with a bunch of people who dared to protest an absolute monarch.

            No. They were ALL accused of terrorism.

              Accused only? Does Saudi Arabia require convictions or are they good with summary executions? (I wish I was being flippant )

                      Read the article kid because several of these "terrorists" were in fact nonviolent protesters who were attempting to petition their government for a change in the discriminator policies against them due to their religion. Saudi Arabia also is not know for giving defendants fair trials.

                        It says they were all members of terrorist groups. That's a terrorist.

                          Look for Shia terrorism to arrive in earnest in Saudi now. I hope history will not mark this as the starting point of the Iran-Saudi war. I can easily see Russia and the U.S. at loggerheads over that conflict with Russia's growing relationship with Tehran and the U.S. pledge to defend the Saudis.

                          I really wonder what the Saudi thinking was here. They could easily have let that cleric waste away in a Saudi prison for decades...

                            Maybe the thinking was if he was dead, they'd eventually forget.
                            A living, even imprisoned one, is a constant reminder.

                            A definite rational open to debate.
