The kingdom of Saudi Arabia has announced that it had executed 81 convicted criminals.<\/p>\n

The announcement which was made on Saturday is the largest\u00a0mass execution conducted by the country in its modern history \u2014 more than the 67 executions reported in all of 2021 and 27 in 2020.<\/p>\n

Prior to Saturday, the largest mass execution in the country\u2019s history since 1980 was\u00a0in 2016<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0when 47 persons were killed.<\/p>\n

However, the latest figure surpasses even\u00a0the 1980 figure<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0when 63 militants were killed in a mass execution.<\/p>\n

According to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the 81 individuals were convicted of terrorism and capital crimes.<\/p>\n

It said that the convicts included members of al-Qaeda, ISIS and backers of Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels.<\/p>\n

Of the 81 people killed, 73 were Saudi citizens, seven were Yemeni and one was a Syrian national.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese individuals, totaling 81, were convicted of various crimes including murdering innocent men, women and children,\u201d SPA said, citing a statement from the interior ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrimes committed by these individuals also include pledging allegiance to foreign terrorist organisations, such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the Houthis, targeting residents in the Kingdom and traveling to regional conflict zones to join terrorist organisations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The news agency said the executed individuals were guilty of targeting government personnel and vital economic sites, the killing of law enforcement officers and maiming their bodies, and planting land mines to target police vehicles.<\/p>\n

In addition to murder, the convictions also included punishment for kidnapping<\/a>, torture, rape and smuggling weapons and bombs into the country.<\/p>\n

According to SPA, the convicts had been tried by 13 judges and gone through a three-stage judicial process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe accused were provided with the right to an attorney and were guaranteed their full rights under Saudi law during the judicial process, which found them guilty of committing multiple heinous crimes that left a large number of civilians and law enforcement officers dead,\u201d\u00a0the SPA report<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kingdom will continue to take a strict and unwavering stance against terrorism and extremist ideologies that threaten the stability of the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
