The execution of prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr in Saudi Arabia on Saturday could arouse anger among the minority's youths, his brother warned, while calling for calm.

"This action will spark anger of (Shiite) youths" in Saudi Arabia, said Mohammed al-Nimr, calling instead for a "peaceful protest movement".

"We reject violence and clashing with authorities, just like the martyr sheikh rejected it."
