Execution speed in Saudi Arabia almost doubled since the crown prince came to power Mohammed bin Salman seven years ago, during which the death penalty was applied to more than a thousand people, the NGO Reprieve and the European-Saudi Organization for Human Rights (ESOHR) condemned today.
According to a joint report by the two organizations released Tuesday, the average executions per year in the Arab country before the appointment of bin Salman as crown prince was 71 people, and over the past seven years this figure has grown to 130.
“More than 1,000 people have been executed since Mohammed bin Salman and his father came to power in 2015, including children, protesters, vulnerable domestic workers, suspected drug dealers, and people whose only “crime” was exercising free speech,” the NGOs denounce.
According to the data on executions compiled by organizations since 2010, the six bloodiest years Saudi Arabia They were between 2015 and 2019, in addition to 2022.
It was in 2022 that 81 people were executed in one day, more than half of whom were accused of participating in demonstrations. The total number of executions that year rose to at least 147.
children executed
On the other hand, NGOs have condemned that at least 15 children have been executed since 2013 despite the fact that Saudi Arabia abolished the death penalty for juveniles.
They also indicated that nearly three-quarters of the women executed between 2010 and 2021 were foreigners, of whom 56% were domestic workers, as in the case of Tuti Tursilavati, an Indonesian woman who was executed in 2018 after she hit her employer. stick when he tried to rape her.
“Judgments (in Saudi Arabia), especially around the death penalty, are taken behind closed doors, publication of court documents is prohibited, charges are changed, and court hearings are postponed indefinitely,” the NGO said about the lack of transparency of the Saudi judiciary.
Thus, they recalled that Saudi Arabia “does not comply with the UN requirements for the use of the death penalty, so the actual number (of executions) may be higher.” (EFE)
