Saudi authorities reopen Khobar sealed Shiite mosques
By: Abdulali
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: Saudi authorities have permitted reopening of
three Shiite mosques in the city of Khobar wherein offering prayer was
banned since last three years.
The decision came after a delegation of Shiite elite met with the vice
prince of eastern province on Monday July 18.
Sayyed Hashim as-Sayed Ali An-Nasser, Sheikh Abbas Al-Mazani and Sayed
Mohamed Baqer An-Nasser led prayers in the three mosques situated in
north Khobar, Ath-Thaqabah and Hayi Al-Jassar respectively.
The mosques were sealed under the pretext that they were established
without an official license.
The mosques were serving 20 thousand Shiite citizens in the
governorate.
Few months back, the authorities had allowed reopening of several
mosques and husseiniyahs in Al-Hassa that were sealed since five
years.
