SAUDI ARABIA: TWO MORE BEHEADINGS
Executioners beheaded a Saudi man for raping boys and an Indian for drug
trafficking, the Interior Ministry said, bringing the number of people
beheaded this year to at least 74. Saudi Arabia follows a strict
interpretation of Islamic law that demands the death penalty for murder,
rape, drug trafficking and armed robbery. Executions are carried out in
public with a sword.
