To allow this crucifixion to occur is an inexcusable injustice and contradicts International Law as well as the law of the Saudi Arabian government. The European parliament recently passed a resolution urging Saudi Arabia to stop the execution and issue a moratorium on the death penalty.
Saudi Arabia is abusing its power to dissuade any forms of dissent. The country has dismissed criticism as protecting the rights of the killer. The United States, United Nations and global leaders need to put more pressure on Saudi Arabia to curb their human rights violations.
We urge President Obama to use his position as the most powerful leader of the world to hone in the Saudi Arabian Government compelling King Salman of Saudi Arabia to release Baqir Al Nimr and safeguard human and civil rights.
