According to AFP numbers based on official statements, Saudi Arabia executed four people on Thursday, increasing the number of executions since the beginning of the year to 100.
This latest execution, reported by the Saudi press agency, came after oenegés and international organizations condemned the execution of 81 people in Saudi Arabia last week.
Three of the 100 executions coincided with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's visit to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. The politician went to Riyadh to increase crude oil production and curb price increases due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
On Saturday, 81 people were executed in one day accused of several charges, including crimes related to terrorism, exceeding a total of 69 people who died in 2021.
The oenegé Human Rights Watch considered that “it is very likely that none of these people had a fair trial” and called the execution “a brutal demonstration against the dictatorship of Saudi Arabia.”
HRW stated in a statement that more than half of the men who were executed “belonged to a Xia minority who had been subjected to systematic discrimination and violence by the government for a long time.”
According to Riyadh, the executed people, including 7 in Yemen and 1 in Syria, were convicted of crimes related to “terrorism”, and the trial was “supervised by a total of 13 judges.”
