... beheading 50 people !!!!!!
Black Friday Saudi-style: Riyadh to behead more than 50 people
Quote:
Saudi Arabia is planning to execute more than 50 people, found guilty of terrorism, in a single day. The move was immediately slammed by Amnesty International, which said the Saudis are ?using the guise of counter-terrorism to settle political scores.?
The information about executions was recently released in Saudi media, which said that up to 55 ?Al-Qaeda terrorists? and 'criminals' from the town of Awamiyya will be executed in the next few days. However, it hasn?t been specified when and how exactly the executions will take place. Awamiya, in Eastern Province where the authorities suppressed protests in 2011, has a predominantly Shiite population. According to sources, the executions may be carried out after Friday prayers.
Reuters cited the Saudi Okaz newspaper as saying these 55 people are accused of sedition, attacks on security officials, and attempts to overthrow the government and carry out attacks by using explosives and surface-to-air missiles. According to Okaz, those on death row have killed more than 100 civilians and 71 security personnel.
One of the prisoners is accused of attempting to buy nuclear material in Yemen worth $1.5 million for use inside Saudi Arabia.
