Tehran, Oct 25, IRNA � Deputy foreign minster for Arab and African affairs expressing regret over hearing news on upcoming execution of top Arab cleric Sheikh Namar said that if Riyadh will venture and carry out the unjust verdict, it will cost the Saudi regime very dearly.

Hossein Amir-Abdollahian who was reacting to the reports on near future execution of the prominent Arab clergy said that the reports in that respect cause very deep concern.

Also expressing regret over dissemination of such sad news from Saudi Arabia, Amir-Abdollahian said that the Saudis have still not offered any convincing reply to the existing questions on Mina disaster, which led to getting killed of thousands of Shi'a and Sunni Muslims from some 24 Islamic countries.

'The series of catastrophic events in this year's Hajj pilgrimage coupled with the incompetent military invasion of Saudi Arabia against the innocent Yemeni people prove that the conditions in that country are inappropriate,' he said.

Amir-Abdollahian added that the provocative and tribal approaches adopted by the Saudi regime against its own citizens, too, will not be to the benefit of the Riyadh regime.

'The Saudi officials have unfortunately resorted to adventurist policies against both their own citizens and the nations in other regional countries, while they are expected to act justly and based on sound and rational policies,' emphasized the Iranian deputy FM.

Sheikh Namar's brother Muhammad Namar on Sunday said in an interview with an Egyptian daily that the Saudi Supreme Court has confirmed the death penalty verdict of that prominent Arab clergy.

The Amnesty International and many other international rights groups had earlier condemned the Saudi preliminary court's verdict and that country's appeal court's approval of it.

The verdict is now sent to the Saudi Internal Affairs Ministry for being implemented and will then be forwarded to the Saudi Imperial Court for the final signature of King Salman.
