Protesters gather outside the Saudi embassy in London on Saturday to condemn the execution of leading Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr. Saudi Arabia executed the cleric and dozens of al Qaeda members, signalling it would not tolerate attacks by either Sunni jihadists or members of the Shia minority seeking equality.
