Officials in Saudi Arabia have reportedly executed eight Iranian sailors in the city of Dammam without any legal proceedings, a Saudi news channel said, PanArmenian.net reports.
As Press TV reports, citing Al-Tagheer, the eight Iranian nationals were executed in a prison in Dammam, the capital of Eastern Province, on April 15.
The channel also said that the executions were carried out on the order of the Saudi Interior Ministry, which has been implicated in the unrest in Syria and the violence in Iraq.
Saudi officials have so far refused to make any statement about the issue.
The execution came right after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Abu Musa, a Gulf island claimed by the Saudi authorities to be a part of Saudi Arabia occupied by Iran.
