Local sources in al-Awamiyah town in Saudi Arabia\u2019s Shia-populated Eastern Province say the locals have been told to either leave their homes or face death at the hands of security forces.<\/h4>\n

Since the early hours of Saturday, the Saudi forces have started taking the town under heavy shellfire, virtually barricading the public in their homes.<\/h4>\n

The sources said sharpshooters were training their fire on various targets from atop rooftops and inside armoured vehicles. Ali al-Debisi, the leader of a Europe-based Saudi rights body, said the locals are afraid of going out for fear of coming under sniper fire.<\/h4>\n

Regime forces, meanwhile, continued to evict people from their homes in the town, they said.<\/h4>\n
