Saudi Arabia must stop use of death penalty - Amnesty

None

Saudi Arabia must stop the use of the death penalty following a "significant increase" in executions in the kingdom in the last six weeks, Amnesty International said on Friday.

 

At least 27 people have been executed in the top oil exporter in 2011, equalling the total number of people executed in 2010 while 15 were executed in May alone, the rights group said in a statement. (Reuters)
