Rallies erupted last night in Saudi and Bahrain to condemn the decision of the criminal court in Riyadh which issued a sentence death against Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr.

The security forces responded by launching live bullets directly onto the protestors who took to the streets of many cities including al-Awamiyah and al-Qatif in eastern Saudi and Sutra island in Bahrain, rejecting the "unjust sentence" and demanding the release of Sheikh al-Nimr.
