Two more Shiites were executed in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia executed young activist Javad Koriris yesterday, November 14, despite the United Nations concluding that his arrest was arbitrary, at a time when the kingdom continues to use so-called "anti-terror laws" to suppress political dissent.
According to the Saudi Organization for Human Rights (ESOHR), Koriris was executed along with Fadel al-Safwani, a prominent organizer of peaceful demonstrations in Qatif demanding civil rights and the release of political prisoners.
For decades, the Shia population of Qatif has faced systematic discrimination, violent suppression of demonstrations, arbitrary arrests and executions.
