Execution in Saudi Arabia highly criticized by a human rights organization.
The Saudi-European human rights organization has said that Saudi Arabia continues to execute so-called “minors”.
The Saudi-European Human Rights Organization said Monday that Saudi Arabia continues to execute minors.
The organization wrote on its Twitter page that Saudi Arabia has repeatedly promised to end the execution of children but has violated them.
The group said that Saudi Arabia had executed at least 12 minors during the reigns of Salman bin Abdulaziz and his crown prince, most recently Mustafa al-Darwish, who executed him in July 2021.
Last November, Saudi Arabia upheld the death sentence of a prisoner named Maki Kazem al-Obaid. He was a resident of the Shiite district of Umm al-Hamam in Qatif, in eastern Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has previously executed a political prisoner named Muslim bin Mohammed al-Muhsin.
The Saudi Interior Ministry said in the allegations against the Saudi citizen that the political prisoner was involved in what was called a terrorist group, that he carried out an armed uprising with weapons against senior Saudi officials and was involved in the killing of a Saudi citizen. The attack on Saudi forces was making Molotov cocktails.
Also last August, just hours after Amnesty International reported on the acceleration of executions in Saudi Arabia, news media reported the execution of a young man from Qatif province in eastern Saudi Arabia.
