European Union concerned about the executions in Saudi Arabia.
Reacting to the execution of a number of Saudi citizens, the EU foreign policy chief said the EU strongly opposes the death penalty under any circumstances.
The execution of a number of Saudi citizens by Saudi security forces provoked a reaction from the European Union, and the EU foreign policy chief said he was concerned about the death penalty in Saudi Arabia.
“As a matter of principle, the European Union strongly opposes the death penalty under any circumstances,” Joseph Borrell, the EU’s foreign policy chief, said in a statement on Sunday afternoon, Tehran time. This is a cruel and inhuman punishment that does not act as a deterrent to crime and represents an unacceptable denial of human dignity and integrity. “The EU will continue to work to abolish the death penalty in the few remaining countries that still practice it.”
“The European Union remains concerned about the continued use of the death penalty in Saudi Arabia and will support a de facto cessation as the first step towards the formal and complete abolition of the death penalty,” the statement said.
“The Saudi regime executed 81 people, which is the largest mass execution in the history of this country,” Zahra Soltaneh, a member of the Labor Party from the Coventry constituency, tweeted. However, Boris Johnson is on the verge of traveling to Saudi Arabia to request more oil. “If the government really cared about human rights, it would have ended its close relationship with the Saudis.”
The Saudi Interior Ministry announced on Saturday that it had executed dozens of people who it said had deviant thoughts, policies and beliefs.
A statement from the Saudi Interior Ministry said, “These individuals are shedding the blood of innocent people, violating the sanctities of known religions, targeting places of worship and a number of government buildings and places of residence on which the country’s economy is based, monitoring a number of Authorities and foreign nationals targeted and targeted, monitored by security forces and killed and mutilated, some planted, planted mines, committed crimes such as kidnapping, torture, rape, armed robbery, smuggling weapons and ammunition into Saudi Arabia They were.”
