Ali Al Nimr’s Father Pleads for Son’s Release & Online Activism Ahead of Crucifixion

Click CC for subtitles. In this episode of Behind The Headline, hosted by Mnar Muhawesh, Ali al-Nimr’s father, Mohammad, joins MintPress to discuss how his family has been impacted by his son’s case. Abu Baker calls for the execution to be cancelled, and for peaceful global activism through social media to continue to put pressure on the Saudi Kingdom to release his son. The family’s legal adviser and advocate in Washington DC, Esha Krishnaswamy, chimed in stressing how much online activism is working, and how Americans can help Ali. Ali Al-Nimr was condemned to be crucified in 2012, when he was just 17 years old. Under Saudi law, he will first be beheaded, then his body will be publicly displayed. His uncle, Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr, is a well-known political dissident and Shiite cleric who has spoken out against the repressive ruling party of Saudi Arabia. Last October, he, too, was sentenced to death.
