MEE reveals Saudi Arabia to execute three prominent Sunni clerics after Ramadan
The most prominent of the three clerics is Sheikh Salman Al-Ouda – an internationally renowned scholar known for his comparatively progressive views in the Islamic world on Sharia.
MEE added that the Al-Ouda was arrested in September 2017 shortly after tweeting a prayer for reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbour Qatar, three months after Riyadh launched a blockade on the emirate.
“The other two slated for execution are Awad al-Qarni, a Sunni preacher, academic and author, and Ali al-Omari, a popular broadcaster. They too were arrested in September 2017.” MEE indicated.
