While the world focuses its attention on Vlad’s aggression in Ukraine, the Saudi royal family just set a record: 81 men were executed in one day.
From what we know, Saudi Arabia killed them on Saturday. The number included seven from Yemen and one fro Syria for terrorism. Also “other offenses” that included holding “deviant beliefs.”
If you are keeping track, this number far outdid the 67 in 2021 and 27 in 2020. But the pandemic was raging. I guess that’s why we didn’t see the big numbers, right?
The interior ministry said this in a statement: “These individuals, totaling 81, were convicted of various crimes including murdering innocent men, women and children.”
“Crimes committed by these individuals also include pledging allegiance to foreign terrorist organizations, such as ISIS (Islamic State), al Qaeda and the Houthis.”
The kingdom did not say the way that the deaths occurred..
One could only image, right?
