Saudis crack down on Ahmadi Muslims

Shame on Saudis
LONDON - Speaking at the weekly press meeting at London Mosque, SW 18, Monday March 24, The Ahmadiyya Muslim Association press secretary Abid Khan strongly condemned the actions of Saudi Arab government against the Ahmadi Muslims who have been working in Saudi Arab for the past several years, many very professional jobs.
In the past few years the Saudi government targeted Ahmadi Muslims and barred them from performing the hajj - the annual Islamic pilgrimage of Mecca as part of their faith.
A disappointed Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Middle East Human Rights expressing her concerns said, “ The Saudi Government’s persecution of Ahmadis on the basis their faith is turning Saudi Arabia into a byword of religious intolerance.
The press secretary Abid Khan urged Saudi Government as a true Muslim nation for immediate end of persecution of Ahmadi Muslims and lift all bans, reemploy and accord them equal treatment guaranteed by Islam.
