The Shoura Council has condemned the protestors who broke into and ransacked the Kingdom's embassy in Damascus. “This hostility constitutes a flagrant violation of the international diplomatic norms related to diplomatic missions,” the Council said in a statement issued at its 60th ordinary session. The meeting was chaired by Dr. Abdullah Bin Muhammad Aal Al-Sheikh, the Council's Speaker. The Council members called on the Syrian authorities to take the necessary security measures to protect the Saudi embassy and its staff and to arrest those responsible as stipulated by international treaties and agreements. Following this, the Council members reviewed the annual report submitted by the Ministry of Civil Service for the fiscal year 2009/2010.
