Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Saudi Arabia carrying out 'unprecedented wave' of executions
Over 150 people were executed this year, and many of whom were beheaded
with a sword in public. Sounds like ISIS/ISIL but it’s not. It’s a kingdom that
is recognized as the region’s leader by the international community. Saudi
Arabia.
While liberalizing the municipal elections for both women and men
candidates and voters for the first time in history, the country doesn’t seem
to hesitate to sentence and implement capital punishment to serious convicts
under the traditional way. And the number of convicts being executed have been
rising. Convicts of murder, adultery, treason, gay sex, drug offences, sorcery
and witchcraft, and apostasy could be sentenced to death penalty regardless of
age or gender.
Law is law as long as it is practiced and enforced properly and fairly.
Read and think what might bring someone to justice in the kingdom.
