    Saudis behead two for raping minors

    Riyadh: Saudi authorities beheaded Wednesday two nationals convicted of raping minors in two separate cases, in one of which the culprit killed the victim, the interior ministry said.

    Hamad Bin Meshehen Al Rashidi was found guilty of kidnapping and raping a seven-year-old boy before throwing him into a well and killing him, the ministry said in a statement carried by SPA state news agency.

    Rashidi was executed in Qassim province, north of Riyadh.

    In the other case, Essa Bin Mohammad Al Rashidi was condemned for kidnapping and raping a minor, and attempting to kidnap another. He was executed in the northern Hail province.

    The beheadings bring to 15 the number of death sentences carried out this year in the kingdom.

    Saudi Arabia beheaded 78 people in 2013, according to an AFP count.

    Last year, the UN High Commission for Human Rights denounced a “sharp increase in the use of capital punishment” there since 2011.

    According to figures from rights group Amnesty International, the number of executions rose from 27 in 2010, including five, to 82 in 2011, including 28 foreigners.

    In 2012, the number of executions dipped to 79, among them 27 foreigners.

    Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under Saudi Arabia’s strict version of Islamic sharia law.

    Saudi Arabia: Man beheaded for murder of maids


    Ahwad Salem

    Jeddah: A man in Saudi Arabia has been beheaded on court orders for sexually assaulting and murdering two Asian housemaids in a sea port, a media report has said.

    Awdah Salem, a Yemen national, was also found guilty of pouring acid on the body of one of the victims and hiding the remains of both women at different locations.

    He confessed to having persuaded one of the two maids to run away with him during Ramadan after which he killed her and threw the body into an abandoned well in Yanbu sea port in 2007.

    A year later Salem lured another maid to elope with him to a deserted place. After having sex with her, he hit her on the head with a rock and buried the body on a beach in Yanbu in 2008.

    Police managed to track down the killer following months of investigation.

    A statement issued by the Saudi interior ministry confirmed that the general court issued the verdict based on the extensive charges, described as “evil, gruesome, and inhumane”.

    “The court sentenced him to death as a deterrent for others and higher authorities have endorsed execution of the sentence, while the appeal court and the supreme court had earlier endorsed the punishment.”

    Meanwhile, a Saudi found guilty of drug trafficking and a convicted murderer were beheaded by the sword on Friday, the interior ministry announced.

    The ministry, in statements carried by state news agency SPA, said Eid Al Umairi, found guilty of having dealt with “large quantities of amphetamines”, was executed in the northwestern city of Tabuk.

    And Meshari Al Otaibi was beheaded in Riyadh for the murder of a fellow Saudi, it said.

    The beheadings raised to 22 the number of executions so far this year in the state, according to an AFP count based on official reports.

    Last year, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights denounced a “sharp increase in the use of capital punishment” in Saudi Arabia.

    In 2013, there were 78 executions.

    Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death in Saudi Arabia.

    Saudi beheaded for murder as Amnesty urges halt to executions

    A Saudi national convicted of murder was decapitated by the sword in the southwest of the Gulf kingdom on Tuesday, the interior ministry said.

    Wail al-Shehri, convicted of shooting dead Meshaal Assiri during an argument, was executed on Tuesday in Abha, capital of Assir province, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency.

    The beheading by sword raises to 33 the number of executions announced in Saudi Arabia so far this year, according to an AFP tally.

    Rights watchdog Amnesty International on Monday denounced in a statement what it called a "disturbing surge" in the use of the death penalty in Saudi Arabia.

    "The Saudi Arabian authorities must halt all executions," it said after two sets of brothers were beheaded on Monday after being convicted of drug smuggling.

    Amnesty said the convictions of the four men came "reportedly on the basis of forced confessions extracted through torture".

    The rights group said Monday's beheadings "bring the number of state killings in Saudi Arabia in the past two weeks to 17 -- a rate of more than one execution per day".

    "The recent increase in executions in Saudi Arabia is a deeply disturbing deterioration. The authorities must act immediately to halt this cruel practice," Amnesty's Said Boumedouha said.

    Last year, there were 78 executions in Saudi Arabia and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights denounced a "sharp increase in the use of capital punishment".

    Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under the kingdom's strict version of Islamic sharia law.
