The statement published on IRGC official website said that the execution was a prologue to Saudi Arabian regime downfall and a behavior very similar to ISIL atrocities.
“The criminal act of execution of Sheikh Nimr the leader of Shia in Saudi Arabia is part of a Zionist conspiracy to sow discord among the world Muslims which will be aborted by the Heavenly blessings coming down to us by the pure blood of these martyrs,” the statement emphasized. “Definitely, Muslims will react to this atrocity and violence through consolidation of unity, which will contribute to the resistance ideals of liberation of the holy Quds.”
“The medieval act of savagery by the Saudi regime is blatant violation of Sheikh Nimr’s inalienable rights and the freedom of expression, and a clear evidence that Takfirist ideology of Wahhabist teachings, now championed by ISIL, has dominated the files and ranks of the Saudi government,” the statement asserted.
