Iranians Stage Protest against Saudi Aggressive Moves

Iranian protestors gathered in front of the Saudi mission in Tehran on Saturday to condemn the Saudi police’s aggressive acts against the Iranian pilgrims, including the sexual abuse of two juniors.

Earlier this month, two Iranian teenagers were sexually abused by the Saudi police in Jeddah Airport as Saudis’ insolence towards Iranian Umrah pilgrims in Mecca and Medina has increased recently.

During the gathering today, the protestors called on the Saudi authorities to punish those behind the sexual abuse against the two Iranian teenage boys, and asked the Saudi King Salman to apologize to the Iranian nation for the aggressive move.

They also urged the closure of the Saudi embassy in Tehran and expulsion of the Saudi charge de' affairs.

The angry protestors chanted slogans against the Saudi regime, and called for halting the Iranians' visit to Saudi Arabia for Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca.

"Today, the Iranian nation has gathered in front of the ISIL-affiliated Saudi embassy to show solidarity with the two Iranian teenagers who were insulted, to make the al-Saud hear our protest, and they demand the embassy's closure within the next 48 hours and immediate expulsion of the Saudi embassy's charge de' affairs," a statement issued by the protestors said.

Also, two of the young protestors climbed the walls of the Saudi embassy and mounted the Iranian flag and a number of placards on the wall.

A minor conflict also erupted between the protestors and the law enforcement police which ended soon.

The gathering wrapped up after 4 hours.
