View Point
By: Kayhan Int’l
The western media is rife with reports of the injustice rampant in Saudi Arabia, following the verdict issued by a closed "kangaroo” court in Riyadh in sentencing a group of eight unnamed persons – five to death and the other three to life terms – for last year’s murder, dismemberment, and acidizing of body parts of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul, Turkey, by a hit-team sent by the regime.
The various human rights bodies in Europe and the U.S. point out that not only the court did not focus on the mastermind of the macabre murder, MBS (Heir Apparent Mohamed bin Salman), but exonerated the three chief culprits who oversaw and directed the grisly killing, that is, the Prince’s top aide Saud al-Qahtani, the deputy head of Saudi intelligence Ahmed al-Assiri, and the Saudi consul in Istanbul Mohamed al-Otaibi.
Another interesting point is that the unnamed persons sentenced by the court have the right to appeal for repealing of the sentences against them and thus earn a pardon from the senile king, Salman bin Abdul-Aziz.
Indeed, a blatant mockery of justice, as dubbed by the West’s media horns, which seem to be unaware that the principle of "justice” does not figure in the ‘Fundamentals of Faith” of the Wahhabi cult, in contrast to the basic beliefs of the long oppressed Shi’a Muslims of the oil-rich Eastern Region who consider "Divine Justice” as the second of their Five Fundamentals of Faith (Osoul ad-Din) and who have not lost faith in the Wrath of the All-Merciful God on the killers of their revered religious leader, Sheikh Baqer an-Nimr, whose 4th martyrdom anniversary they all geared up to commemorate on January 2.
On October 2, 2018, the U.S.-based Khashoggi who used to write for the daily ‘Washington Post’ was savagely dismembered alive at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul for opposing the brutal policies of MBS by a special 15-man team sent from Riyadh for the premeditated murder, since the victim had been lured through an appointment on that particular date.
Khashoggi was no angel, and before falling out with MBS and settling in the U.S. was an accomplice in the Saudi regime’s crimes against humanity, including the war in Yemen. Moreover, whether some of his killers are executed or not, his two sons from a previous marriage living in Saudi Arabia have been handsomely compensated by MBS.
So, whatever the western media says, this is justice Saudi style, especially since U.S. President Donald Trump continues to support the roguish regime in Riyadh and lavishes praise on its rulers for regularly doling out hundreds of billions of dollars to Washington.
In view of these undeniable facts, if there is really any sense of justice or altruism amongst the journalists and politicians in the U.S. and Europe, they should grill Saudi Arabia for the injustice to the Shi’a Muslims, who are deprived of any share in their oil wealth and denied the most basic rights of citizens.
Martyr Shaikh Nimr was a Voice of Justice for the continued grievances of his community and was executed in a most unjust manner along with 46 other Shi’a Muslims. Later, two of his cousins were gunned down without any reason, while his teenaged nephew, Ali, continues to languish in prison, awaiting the execution order already issued against him.
In view of these undeniable facts that also include the death of over a hundred thousand Yemeni men, women, and children, in addition to the displacement of millions of others and the destruction of the infrastructure, if justice is to prevail in its real sense, then Saudi Arabia, which Britain had created in 1932 for its agent, Abdul-Aziz the desert brigand from Najd following his blood-soaked occupation of Hijaz the Land of Divine Revelation and the desecration of Islam’s holiest sites in Mecca and Medina, should cease to exist and the entire clan of criminals meted out the punishment they deserve.
