Shia Rights Watch calls on the United Nations to condemn the Karbala massacre


The International Shia Rights Watch Organization called on all governments and human rights organizations to condemn the Karbala massacre after the attack of the Al Saud army in 1801.
The organization stated in a statement, “With the advent of Eid al-Ghadir every year, the memory of Shias evokes with pain and bitterness, as they recall the Karbala massacre that was committed by the Al Saud army in 1801. The barbarians took the city’s residents by surprise, leaving thousands of martyrs and wounded, as well as other brutal crimes before they withdrew from the city, looting the money and valuables that adorned the holy shrines in Karbala.”
It added, as the Saudi forces attacked the city of Karbala without warning, led by Abdulaziz bin Muhammad Al Saud, King of Saudi Arabia at the time, and documented during his military life heinous war crimes and crimes of ethnic cleansing, as a result of which more than five thousand children, women and men were killed, and antiquities were also stolen.
It stressed, that this horrific crime calls for the human conscience to condemn it before the Saudi authorities bear the supposed legal repercussions for what they committed, worse than the historical crimes condemned by the international community.
Shia Rights Watch organization called on all democratic governments and human rights organizations to condemn that massacre so that the Saudi authorities give an official apology and bear the legal consequences of what happened.
