Alwaght- A young Shiite Muslim man has been tortured to death by brutal Saudi regime forces in the kingdom’s oil-rich al-Qatif region of the Eastern Province.
Local sources said, Makki al-Orayedh died on Friday “under torture” in police custody at city of al-Awamiyah, located some 390 kilometers northeast of the capital Riyadh.
According to Arabic-language Bahrain al-Youm news website al-Oraydeh had been detained at a security checkpoint in the Safavi district of Qatif two days earlier, and transferred to the police station in Awamiyah, where trumped-up charges of an armed assault on security personnel were placed against him.
While human rights activists attribute al-Orayedh’s death to torture in detention, the Saudi regime claims that his psychological health was not good at all, and that he died of deep-seated fear.
His family also maintains that he was not suffering from any physical or mental illness, and that his health was excellent before his abduction.
The Eastern Province has been the scene of violent clashes between anti-government protesters and Saudi regime forces since 2011 when a wave of Islamic Awakening swept the West Asia region. Manya people have died in the crackdown on protests while thousands have been arrested and are languishing in the regime’s notorious prisons.
Saudi authorities have imposed restrictions on all kinds of protests across the oil-rich country.
The region was the scene of protests last January after the Saudi regime executed 47 people, among them prominent Shiite Islam cleric, Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr, igniting international condemnation.
