According to Mohammed’s tweet, a Saudi court upheld the ruling issued against al-Nimr and ended all proceedings that took place during the 13 sessions of his trial.
The news took Twitter by storm and became a trending topic that reflected the sharp divisions between the supporters and the opponents of the verdict, which was also seen as having sectarian implications.
Authorities in Saudi Arabia gave the verdict a sectarian dimension under the guise of the law that targeted the spiritual leader of an important element of the Saudi people.
Activists took to social media to call for a solidarity campaign with al-Nimr, while others held the international community responsible for his ordeal and discussed the violations committed by the Saudi authorities in issuing the verdict.
Many pages were created on social media sites with titles like, “Execute us with al-Nimr,” and “We give our soul to al-Nimr” as bloggers turned to the web to express their opinion.
