Anti-Zio-Wahhabi outspoken Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, on trial reportedly for inciting sectarianism and betraying the country, could face death by crucifixion. Al-Nimr was initially arrested in July 2012, and re-appeared in court today, triggering backlash from his supporters on Twitter who raised concerns about the fairness of his trial.
