Saudi Arabia executes 81 convicts

RIYAD—Saudi Arabia put to death 81 people who had been convicted of crimes including murders, rape, arms smuggling and links to terrorist groups, in the largest known mass execution in the history of the kingdom.
Most of those executed on Saturday were Saudis, according to the interior ministry. More than half were from the minority Shiite Muslim population, which has a history of militancy and protest against discrimination. Seven were Yemeni nationals and one was Syrian.
The interior ministry didn’t disclose how the men were killed. Executions in the past have involved beheading by sword in the kingdom, which remains among the world’s top executioners despite recent efforts to curb the use of the death penalty.
Saudi Arabia’s court of appeals and supreme court had heard cases for all those executed, and the sentences were sanctioned by royal decree, the interior ministry said.
Saturday’s executions are the most in Saudi Arabia in a single day, surpassing the 63 people killed in January 1980 in connection with the takeover of Mecca’s Grand Mosque by a group of Saudi extremists who took hostages and held the holiest site in Islam for two weeks before security forces reclaimed it in a military operation.

Saudi Arabia justice system >>>> US justice system

The Saudis do things differently but at least they don’t have to worry about a drive by shooting next to a mall.

Yep, and not even with a guillotine they just hack it off with a sword in the town square.

And look at how times have changed. They discourage law breaking.

They don't use just any old sword. It's a katana made from steel folded over 1,000 times. This is a blade that can defeat tank armor. At least, it can in the hands of a sufficiently portly and well-studied swordsman.

I read comments like this and wonder why our founders even decided to rebel against their monarchy.

More than half were shiite. I am going to go out on a limb and say there were probably a few people who were found guilty but wasn't and maybe a few people whose crime was exaggerated because they were shiite.
But I am sure you support the way they treat women there as well.

The right thing is always subjective. Wearing masks and being forced to take a vaccine was very recently the right thing to some. I would hate to have been executed for not wearing a mask. America has the best justice system on the planet imo. I would like to leave it as it is.

My pals? You talking about the former NY governor and his dirt bag brother who worked at CNN? Why would consider them my pals?
Not to mention, are you comparing what they did to how women are treated in SA? I know you are smarter than this Kent.
