The authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) have executed at least 101 foreigners since the beginning of 2024, according to an AFP tally.
Foreigners executed this year include 21 from Pakistan, 20 from Yemen, 14 from Syria, 10 from Nigeria, nine from Egypt, eight from Jordan, and seven from Ethiopia.
There were also three from Sudan, India, and Afghanistan and one each from Sri Lanka, Eritrea, and the Philippines. This is nearly three times the figures for 2023 and 2022 when Saudi officials executed 34 foreigners each year.
