Islamabad, January 8 (RHC)-- People have taken to the streets of the Pakistani capital city of Islamabad to vent their anger at Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir's visit to the country.

Carrying black flags, the protesters in their hundreds shouted slogans such as “Down with Al Saud,” “Down with the U.S.,” “Down with Israel,” “Al Saud commits crime,” and “Al Saud supports Israel.”

The demonstrators were holding banners, one of them describing Riyadh as a U.S. puppet which has committed a brutal and anti-humane crime by executing prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr. The cleric was executed along with 46 others on January 2, a move which has drawn condemnation worldwide.
