In a statement on Saturday, the IRGC said the execution serves the interests of Zionism in deepening rifts among Shias and Sunnis, which, however, will be thwarted through wisdom and unity of the Muslim world.
The IRGC statement added that Sheikh Nimr’s execution violated freedom of expression and human rights.
On Saturday, the Saudi Interior Ministry announced that Sheikh Nimr along with 46 other people, who were convicted of being involved in “terrorism” and adopting a “Takfiri” ideology, had been executed.
