Iraqis hold demo for missing pilgrims

The demonstrators on Saturday demanded to know the whereabouts of their fellow countrymen who went missing while on Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia a couple days ago.

Mazen Abdul-Karim, a local official in Babil, said the Saudi regime was responsible for the incident.

He also stated that some of the pilgrims have been reportedly detained by Saudi security forces in the holy city of Mecca.

Karim criticized the Iraqi government for its failure to investigate the issue.

The development in Iraq comes at a time when demonstrations against the oppressive regime of Al Saud continue in the kingdom.

On July 13, Saudi security forces in the town of Awamiyah killed an 18-year-old protester during a demonstration held near a police station to demand the release of prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nemr al-Nemr, who was attacked, injured and arrested on July 8.
