Saudi Regime Puts Mecca Under Siege During Ramadan

The Saudi regime decided to impose an exorbitant fine of $ 3,200 for those who perform the Umrah in the blessed month of Ramadan without obtaining a permit, and a penalty of $ 350 for those who enter the Sacred Mosque- House of God- without permission, and deployed hundreds of soldiers at the entrances to Mecca and the Grand Mosque.

During the last two years, the Saudi regime has used to restrict the pilgrims, Umrah pilgrims and visitors to the House of God under the pretext of confronting Covid-19, while keeping theaters, cinemas and cabarets open under the pretext of stimulating tourism.

The Saudi Interior confirmed the imposition of a security cordon around Mecca and its entrances, and another around the Grand Mosque to control the entering without official permits, which means that it will be under a strict security siege throughout the holy month of Ramadan.

Millions Muslims from across the globe each year go to perform Umrah in the blessed month of Ramadan.

During the past year, the Saudi regime, with a clear Israeli blessing, was able to disrupt the Hajj, for the first time in the history.
