    Saudi Arabia carries out first execution of 2017

    Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s most prolific executioners, on Tuesday carried out its first death sentence of the year.

    Authorities put Mamdouh al Anzi to death following his conviction for shooting dead another Saudi in a dispute, the interior ministry said.

    He was executed in Arar, a city near Iraq.

    A Saudi man who kidnapped and raped minor girls was executed today in the city of Dammam, in the Eastern Province.

    The Criminal Court convicted Ali bin Ayedh bin Ali Al-Madawi of raping the abducted girls in a desert area, and sentenced him to capital punishment.

    The Saudi Court of Appeals and the High Court upheld the death sentenced and the King rejected his plea for mercy.

    Pakistani among two drug dealers executed in KSA

    RIYADH - Saudi Arabia executed two convicted drug traffickers on Thursday, bringing the number of prisoners killed in the kingdom to 20 so far this year.

    The state-run SPA news agency named the two men as Saudi Arabian national Nasser Harshan and Pakistani national Namtallah Khasta Qul. Both were put to death Thursday after being convicted of drug trafficking in the conservative kingdom.

    SPA said Harshan was a repeat offender found guilty of dealing hashish. Qul was found guilty of dealing heroin. More than 150 people were executed last year in Saudi Arabia, according to London-based rights group Amnesty International.

    Amnesty reported 158 death penalties in the country for 2015, the highest annual rate in the past two decades.

    Among those executed last year was Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr, a high-profile figure behind a string of Shiite protests in 2011 demanding reform in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.

    Three Pakistani heroin traffickers executed in Saudi Arabia

    By AFP

    JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA: Saudi Arabia on Sunday executed three Pakistani nationals convicted of smuggling heroin, bringing the number of executions in the kingdom to 26 this year.

    The state-run SPA news agency said the three had been found guilty of “smuggling quantities of heroin in their stomachs”.

    It named the three men as Mohammed Ashraf Shafi Mohammed, Mohammed Aref Mohammed Anayt and Mohammed Afdal Asghar Ali. All three are Pakistani citizens.

    SPA reported 153 people being executed in the ultra-conservative kingdom last year, a number confirmed by London-based rights group Amnesty International.

    Among those executed was Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr, a high-profile figure behind a string of Shiite protests in 2011 demanding reform in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.

    Amnesty reported 158 death penalties in the country for 2015, the highest annual rate in the past two decades.

    Saudi Arabia has a strict Islamic legal code under which murder, drug trafficking, armed robbery, rape and apostasy are all punishable by death.

    Seven more people beheaded in Saudi Arabia, 137 total this year

    Sputnik

    Seven people were executed in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday following their convictions on charges of murder, robbery and drug smuggling. The condemned included a gang of six Yemeni home invaders and one Saudi drug-runner.

    The Yemenis were convicted of killing three people across multiple home invasions in ‘Asir, a southern province of Saudi Arabia. They also stole cash and other valuables from the homes of their victims. All six men were executed in the city of Abha.

    The Saudi convict had smuggled pills into the country and was executed in Tabuk.

    One hundred thirty people have been executed in Saudi Arabia thus far in 2017, not quite breaking last year’s number of 154 executions. In the Kingdom, a litany of crimes can result in execution, including homosexuality, adultery, blasphemy, witchcraft and sexual misconduct. However, the vast majority of executions are conducted for serious convictions of terrorism, drug-smuggling, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape and murder.
