‘Martyrs of duty’ vs. ‘murdered in party’
Widespread corruption has prompted the top authorities to allow their subsidiaries to engage in indecent parties as a hush up money or a bonus for their atrocities in Yemen or Bahrain.
Qodsa, Mehdi Azizi:
Saudi Interior Ministry has described two of its forces who were murdered in an indecent party as ‘martyrs of duty’! Hashem al-Zahrani and Abdullah Delbahi were killed in a party of Saudi women close to Anak town between Qatif and Sihat after a schism with their colleagues, according to video clips posted online. The ministry however sought to cover up the moral indecency of its security forces through a statement that was also aimed at creating a security situation around their real death.
This is not however the first time the security forces are killed over moral indecency. A search in the internet would retrieve many reports of deaths among the security forces in such night parties. Tight censorship keeps such reports from becoming public however Saudi citizens are not idle by. Some Saudi citizens however still have a positive image of their governors due to media propaganda.
Saudi government seeks to blame the Shia activists in the Qatif for their deaths so as to cover up the high levels of moral corruption among its security forces. It also charged two citizens namely Mohammad Soymel and Fazel Homeiri for their deaths against the realities on the ground.
Moral corruption has grown in the past few years among Saudi authorities and security forces due to a closed social sphere in the country as well as weak morality especially among the security forces who have the financial ability. Interestingly enough, Saudi Muftis issue the tightest rulings for ordinary citizens while the country’s rulers are mired in corruption; evidence to their corruption were available during the US President Donald Trump’s visit to Saudi and how the princes and even some security guards reportedly proposed to Ivanka Trump even as her husband was accompanying her.
Perhaps, the widespread corruption among the top authorities has prompted them to allow their subsidiaries to engage in the indecent parties as a hush up money or a bonus for their atrocities in Yemen or Bahrain.
