Athens, January 7 (RHC)-- People have taken to the streets of the capital of Greece against Saudi Arabia’s recent execution of a prominent Shia clergyman.

In Athens, people marched towards the Saudi embassy on Wednesday while riot police formed a wall outside the diplomatic mission. Shia Muslims living in Greece held pictures of cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr and shouted slogans outside the Saudi embassy.

"We ask Saudi Arabia to stop 'investing' in terrorism. We ask Saudi Arabia to stop nurturing extremists and fanatics and let them kill simple Muslims," said Ashir Haider, a representative of the Shia Muslim Community of Greece, who was among those attending the rally in Athens.
