Saudi Arabia executes 81 men in one day.

Really. Does that sort of thing go on nowadays, whoever they are?

OR

Is that what to do with terrorists, traitors and IS bastards?

Who's right, softy leftie west or totalitarian states who don't give a sh1t about whining western winnies and just dispose of humans like so much flotsam?

You are right, but the question still stands

Probably an opportune moment with everyone focussed on Ukraine.

Quote:
Saudi Arabia has one of the highest execution rates in the world - fifth in a list compiled by Amnesty International, the other four being China, Iran, Egypt and Iraq.

The USA is next in the list, keeping some interesting company. That ought to be embarrassing.

The question has to be 'why are we being told this today?'. What do our media overlords seek to gain by feeding us plebs with this nugget at this point in time?

The Arabs won’t turn the tap on for Joe so it’s up to Boris to sweet talk them. Our Tory-hating MSM are preparing the ground for another attack.

I find myself not much caring if the Saudis want to execute a few people they see as dangerous criminals. I don't have to live in Saudi Arabia, and it's not exactly genocide, is it?
Quite happy to pour our money into China though, aren't we? Now there's a country that offs a few people they don't like. And there are quite a few in this country who would happily bring back the death penalty for murderers, terrorists and rapists, and it could be argued that in some cases it wouldn't be a bad thing.

My problem there is doing it outside of their own jurisdiction. If they want to knock off their citizens who disagree with the ruling power in their own country, that's their decision. I don't think it's good, but it's their country.
If the majority of Saudi citizens don't want that to happen, it's up to them to do something about it.

Beyond those considerations, do you care about it? I mean, does it prey on your conscience every day? I bet not.

Possibly they struggle to find be-headers in the jobs market what with oil at $110+/BBLS.
So wait until they can do a batch all at once.

Ive been there for four months and heard NOTHING about this event.

It is not the talk of the tearoom there.
