Al-Malifi is said to have made sacrilegious remarks about the 12th Shia Imam (may God hasten his glad advent). Kuwaiti Shi’ites on Sunday staged demonstrations calling for Al-Malifi to be put on trial.
They described his sacrilegious acts as a move aimed at undermining Shia, Sunni unity in the Persian Gulf country, Rohama reported.
Kuwait’s Shia leader Ayatollah Sayyed Muhammad Baqer Al-Muhri had earlier issued a statement calling on the Interior Ministry to arrest and indict Al-Malifi.
