Alwaght-Saudi has played its own active role in rising severe crises in some countries of West Asia, whereas this troublemaker regime has many problems in its own interior affairs. Examining and analyzing the problems of this regime may lead to a better understanding of this regime and its interior challenges.
Al-Saud has faced many challenges in its interior affairs. Saudis have tried to widen the rift between Shiites and Sunnis to put up with their interior challenges. By doing so, they have tried to hinder the spread of the social discontent in Saudi. There is no authentic statistics for the number of Shiites in Saudi. According to the Saudi census, thirteen percent of Saudi population is Shiite Muslims, whereas Shiites have made up more than thirty percent of Saudi population, based on the other institutes' censuses. By doing so, Al-Saud has tried to deprive Saudi Shiites of their own absolute civil rights.
Al-Saud are harshly suppressing any activities by Shiites, for instance, even when they are praying, Al-Saud attacks them. Al-Saud arrests Shiites without any specific reason. Al-Saud has banned Shiites of doing social activities freely.
Undoubtedly, there is no rift between Shiites and Sunnis at ordinary conditions. They are living together peacefully. However, Al-Saud has tried to instill the society that there is a serious rift between Shiites and Sunnis. In other words, Al-Saud tries to show that Sunnis are always against Shiites and vice versa. Al-Saud has imprisoned Saudi protestors for their protests, whereas Saudi protestors are just seeking their civil and citizenship rights.
Human rights organizations have criticized the awful conditions in Al-Saud prisons. Congressional representatives of America have pleaded Obama to cancel his trip to Riyadh, due to the apparent violations of human rights in Saudi. Based on the leaked news from Saudi prisons, conversation with the released prisoners and published images of prisons, the conditions of prisons and prisoners in Saudi are awful right now.
According to a letter published by prisoners in 2011," a prison with six cells and six toilets cannot provide basic living conditions for 60 prisoners, whereas more than 250 are living there in the awful conditions of living." Due to their plights in Dammam, they wrote and sent this letter to Al-Saud officials, while they had requested their basic human rights.
It is noteworthy that some prisoners, imprisoned due to the political allegations, may not be survived in this sever plight of Al-Saud prisons. It is necessary to mention that the number of prisoners has increasingly increased after 2011 protests in Saudi. According to Islam World News agency, due to low level of health care and lack of medical facilities in Al-Saud prisons, some prisoners became sick and then died.
As Islam World News agency reports, the status of refugees in Saudi can be one of the main cases of human rights violations. There is no news from those who have fled into Saudi. They have been imprisoned for years without any specific reason. Some days ago, Amnesty International again condemned the human rights violations in Saudi and criticized the status of refugees in this country.
Another apparent violation of human rights is the awful conditions of female prisoners in Saudi. The severe mental and physical tortures are the main part of daily program for the women. By installing camera even in toilets, the female prisoners are tortured and abused psychologically. In addition, the prisoners are kept in prison with the fastened hands and feet, which is an old-fashioned act in the prisons of other countries.
Surprisingly, Al-Saud publicized news in which they had claimed that the al-Qaeda prisoners have pool, gym, etc. in their own cells in Saudi. Even the good-tempered prisoners can stay one night with their wife in a private room. According to Daily Mail newspaper, a five-star hotel is constructed for al-Qaeda forces who are imprisoned by al-Saud. Daily Mail newspaper illustrates this news as Al-Saud's Conduct with al-Qaeda extremists. According to the manager of this Jail, the aim behind providing these facilities for al-Qaeda forces is to hinder them to do their terrorist attacks, whereas al-Qaeda forces have always risen a variety of crises. There is no guarantee that these facilities can hinder them from doing terrorist attacks. Salman bin Abdulaziz declared that Saudi has different problems including Employment, Health Care, Education, etc.
