Saudi Arabia Executes 330 People in 2024, Nearly Double Last Year’s 172, Highest Annual Total in Decades
Dec 24, 2024, 06:07 PM
In 2024, Saudi Arabia executed at least 330 individuals, marking the highest annual total recorded in decades, according to multiple reports. This figure nearly doubles the 172 executions reported in the previous year. The rise in executions occurs despite promises from de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman to reduce the death penalty, which he claimed would only apply to murder cases under his vision for reform. The increase in executions has raised concerns about the country's commitment to human rights and reform efforts, as the data highlights a stark contrast to the government's stated intentions.
