Saudi Arabia Executes Six Iranians in Dammam for Drug Smuggling Amid 338 Executions in 2024
Jan 1, 2025, 06:00 PM
Saudi Arabia executed six Iranian nationals for drug smuggling, as announced by the Saudi Ministry of Interior. The executions took place in Dammam, in the eastern part of the country, for smuggling hashish into the kingdom. Iran responded by summoning the Saudi ambassador in Tehran to formally protest the executions, describing them as a violation of international law. The incident comes after Saudi Arabia recorded a high number of executions in 2024, with a total of 338 executions, including 117 for drug trafficking. The executions of the six Iranians are part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing campaign against drug trafficking, which intensified in 2023.
