Saudi beheads two Pakistanis over murders

[westtowel]

RIYADH: Saudi authorities today beheaded two Pakistanis in the holy city of Mecca after finding them guilty of two murders, the interior ministry said.

Bashir Afridi and Rahmulwahab Abdullah, both of them Pakistanis, murdered and robbed Mohammed Haji, a fellow Pakistani, the ministry said in a statement carried by state news agency SPA.

The two also killed a woman and caused the death of another, SPA reported, without revealing the nationalities of the two women.

His beheading brings to 28 the total number of executions in the ultra-conservative kingdom so far this year, according to an AFP tally based on official reports.

Under the AFP count, at least 76 people were beheaded in 2011 in Saudi Arabia, while rights group Amnesty International put the number of executions last year at 79.

The death penalty in Saudi Arabia applies to a wide range of offences including rape, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking, as well as murder, as stipulated by Islamic Sharia law.

Two things, the number of people given death is way too high, surely they can afford prison to lock up people.
Other is we dont want rest of society to be brutal, and other methods are more humane.

Leave all the political differences,don't you think beheading sucks as punishment?
the best way for executions is hanging.However i'm against capital punishment for most cases (not all cases).

Beheading is less painful and thus more "humane"
If the sword is sharp enough of course!

The kind of sick minds and criminals we have in our society we need such laws to be honest.

 

[Skallagrim]

Most people object to Islamic penal codes simply because they find themselves guilty of crimes punishable to death, flogging etc. Their tears for humanity are actually tears for their own souls.
