U.S. says Saudis have right to peaceful protests

Featured Replies

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saudis have a right to protest peacefully, the United States said on Monday after Saudi Arabia reminded its citizens that demonstrations were banned in the kingdom, the world's largest oil exporter.

Inspired by protests in other Arab countries, there have been Shi'ite marches in the past few days in the east of Saudi Arabia as well as Facebook calls for two more protests this month, the first on Friday.

"The United States supports a set of universal rights, including the right to peaceful assembly and to freedom of expression," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters at his daily briefing.

"Those rights must be respected everywhere, including Saudi Arabia," he added.

While the U.S. ally has by no means faced protests of the scale that toppled veteran authoritarian leaders in Egypt and Tunisia, dissent has built up as unrest has spread in Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, Libya and Oman.

The Saudi interior ministry on Saturday issued a statement saying that security forces would stop all attempts to disrupt public order and noting that "the kingdom's regulations totally ban all sorts of demonstrations, marches, sit-ins."

Crowley said the United States had regularly conveyed its belief in civil liberties to Saudi Arabia but did not know if it had done so since the ministry's weekend statement.

மேலே உள்ள செய்தி வெளியே உலகத்திற்கு, முக்கியமாக அரபு உலகத்தில், தான் நல்ல பெயர் எடுக்க அமெரிக்கா சொல்லியுள்ளது போல உள்ளது.

முதலில், அமெரிக்கா இன்னும் மசகு எண்ணெயில் தங்கியுள்ள நாடு. சவூதி மன்னர் ஆட்சி (அமெரிக்கா கைப்பொம்மை) போனால் மலிவான (?) மசகு எண்ணெய் விலைக்கு என்ன நடக்கும்? அமெரிக்காவின் பொருளாதார வளர்ச்சிக்கு பதிப்பாகும். அவர்கள் "வாழ்க்கை தரம்" குறையும்.

அடுத்து சவூதி சுனி அரபுகள் பலத்தை இழக்கும் பொழுது சியா அரபர்கள் மற்றும் சியா ஈரானியர்கள் பலம் பெறுவதை மேற்குலகம் விரும்பாது.

அதையும் மீறி சவூதியில் மக்கள் போராட்டம் நடந்தால் உலக ஒழுங்கும் பொருளாதரா பலன்களும் மாறும்.
