Report: Shia pilgrims face unjustified inspections, insults in Saudi

By: Abdulali

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: An authentic report said Shia pilgrims who enter Saudi Arabia for performing annual Hajj Rituals are subject to unjustified inspections and insults of extremist elements at the kingdom’s airports and religious sights.

Quoting eyewitnesses, the report published on Ebaa news website said that Shia pilgrims, upon their arrival to Saudi airports, become subjects to intrusive inspections and fierce insults by Saudi security guards.

Besides verbally abusing and impolitely inspecting the luggage of Shia pilgrims, Saudi security agents and airport officials, unjustifiably, delay Shia pilgrims for hours at airports.

Sources in Saudi Kingdom told news Agencies that security forces, besides conducting cruel behavior toward Shia Hajj pilgrims, encourage Salafists and Wahabi extremist groups to insults Shias during the Hajj Rituals, contrary to what Saudi authorities had promised before this Year’s Hajj convergence.
