“Any execution is appalling, but executions for crimes such as drug smuggling or sorcery that result in no loss of life are particularly egregious,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa Director in a press release. “There is simply no excuse for Saudi Arabia’s continued use of the death penalty, especially for these types of crimes.”...
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the Saudi government news agency, on August 18, authorities executed four Saudi men in Najran province. A court had previously convicted the men – identified as Hadi al-Mutlaq, Awadh al-Mutlaq, Mufreh al-Yami, and Ali al-Yami – of attempting to smuggle hashish into the country.
Hajras in al-Qurey a mentally ill man was sentenced to be publicly beheaded on January 16, 2013. The man allegedly smuggled drugs into Saudi Arabia and attacked a police officer during his and his son’s arrest. Al-Qurey’s son confessed to smuggling drugs, but said his father was unaware of drugs being in the car. Al-Qurey’s son also said that his father was put into a solitary confinement cell to intimidate him into confessing. He also alleges that his father was beaten which caused him to plead guilty despite originally maintaining his pleas that he is innocent.

And here's today's "Freedom Fries" moment...
a society that beheads people for "practicing sorcery" as a regular part of their legal system in the 21st century. 
That kind of says it all, don't you think?
I'm so damn tired of the hypocrisy, the mealy mouthed responses in the rare occasion when it happens, the complacency among party members, media, political pundit and their whores to boot.
I'm just sick of it. thanks for nailing it squarely on the head. 
and when it does execute people, it's only for murder, not drug smuggling or sorcery.
... gee, how surprising 
that the Saudis routinely behead people they don't like. ...
since it is the Saudis who created ISIS/ISIL to be USA's brand spanking new ME boogie man to scare the bejesus out of unsuspecting US citizens.
Surprise surprise.
in the developed world.
facts or perspective be damned. 
I guessed which country it was before I clicked on the thread.
and allowed the Saudi Families to Exit the USA when all our US Planes were grounded after "9/11." Saudi Families were allowed to Exit the USA for fear of reprisals.
So...we get all scared by this group of Thugs dressed up like they are going to be in the next Apocalypse Movie with their Cool Black Outfits & Flags and their Theatrical Poses ........because we are to be SOOOOO AFRAID that they are coming for our Women and Children right over the USA BORDER and THEY MIGHT ALREADY BE HERE! OOPS .....I guess our TSA and NSA just couldn't catch them in time...because they were too busy patting all of us up, Scanning our Bodies and Listening and Scaping Up and Profiling all our Internet Activities.
might be for a bud is a bud, but those who are not our buds bestest not commit dastardly iniquities. 
and SA, have said virtually nothing about either the shooting down of the plane
carrying all of those Dutch citizens OR Russia's annexation of Crimea.
er, I mean 'Willing' , despite the fact they have no military.
I forgot all about that!
Thanks!
They support them financially, as large, regular customers. Europe
depends on their oil far more than we do, at this point.
