Saudi Arabia has executed people on drug related charges
Saudi Arabia has executed 28 individuals convicted of drug-related offenses, marking one of the largest groups of executions for such crimes in recent years. These executions were part of the kingdom’s ongoing crackdown on drug trafficking and usage, which it considers a serious threat to public safety and moral standards. The use of capital punishment for drug offenses is consistent with Saudi Arabia’s strict legal system and its broader approach to maintaining law and order. The mass execution has drawn both domestic and international attention, with concerns raised about human rights and the legal processes involved in such cases.
