21-year-old beheaded in Saudi Arabia's mass executions for taking part in 'anti-government' protests

A YOUNG man's head was chopped off in public — along with 36 others the same day — four years after demonstrating against Saudi Arabia’s hardline regime, it’s claimed.

As a teenage Shiite Muslim, a persecuted minority group in the Sunni dominated Saudi Arabia, he had been taking part in demonstration against government in the kingdom’s Eastern Province.But Amnesty International says his trial was a farceThis admission was the sole basis for his conviction and he was denied a proper defence lawyer.

For Abdulkareem al-Hawaj’s family, perhaps it was consolation their son’s decapitated head and body was not impaled and put on display as a warning to others.had all been convicted of terrorism offences in the hardline kingdom. It emerged one man had even been crucified. Saudi dissident Ali Al-Ahmed, who runs the Gulf Institute in Washington, identified 34 of those executed as Shiites based on the names announced by the Interior Ministry.In fact it marked the largest number of executions in a single day in Saudi Arabia since January 2, 2016, when the kingdom executed 47 people for terrorism-related crimes.

Amnesty International said 11 of the men were convicted of spying for Iran and sentenced to death after a "grossly unfair trial."

Saudis execute 37 in 'bloody execution spree'The men, all Saudi citizens, were killed for what the Saudi interior ministry said were terrorist and security crimes. Not our Country, not our laws, not our citizens, nothing to do with us .... I'm a firm believer that some crimes should only receive punishment not rehabilitation however I've yet to see any evidence that executions solve 1 thing they don't reduce crime it isn't really a punishment and the victims don't see the closure. Well you want to promote extremism than you deserve the execution!

Opinion: One year later, justice for my friend Loujain al-Hathloul means a full pardon from Saudi authoritiesSince May 2018 Loujain has been tortured, sexually harassed and threatened with rape and murder by Saudi authorities— in a place she describes in her own words as 'the palace of terror' Always a surprise when activists released from Saudi prisons don’t show any signs of torture or harassment. Why are these stories only about those still in detention she’ll deserve the pardon only if she proves her innocence, and as I hear from media, she admitted all charges against her.
