Local Editor
As part of the Saudi brutal attack against the kingdom's eastern province of al-Qatif, the Shia-populated Awamia neighborhood woke up on Wednesday to heavy bombardment targeting random parts across the area.
Later on, the government shut down phone services as an intention to prevent locals from covering and posting what's going on online in Awamia.
Besides, several residents were kidnapped and many expensive properties have been stolen as part of an attack in which regime forces stormed a residential building.
Also in the Tarout region inside Awamia, religious clerics have been detained by regime forces.
Later reports said that the regime imposed curfew across the area as hundreds of military vehicles are stationed in the sports stadium.
The developments come as the kingdom is expected to execute dozens of Shia activists at any moment.
