Six Somali migrant workers were publicly beheaded in Jeddah on this date in 2005 for robbing taxi drivers. The muggings, though violent, were not fatal to the drivers, so the punishment was quite harsh even by the harsh standards of KSA.
According to an Amnesty International researcher, the doomed men had not been “informed in advance that their five-year prison sentences, which they had served — and also been lashed — by May 2004, had apparently been changed later to death sentences by a secret procedure.” They were unaware until the morning of their execution that they had even been condemned to death.
Their names were Ali Sheikh Yusuf, Abdel-Fatar Ali Hassan, Abdullah Adam Abdullah, Hussein Haroon Mohamed, Abdul-Nur Mohamed Wali and Abdullah Hassan Abdu.
That may have been a blessing.
Less time to agonize about what was coming.
I don’t really have a problem with this.
L
In New York they would never have been in jail!

Upon hearing the news, Ilhan Omar was outraged by the executions of her brother-cousin-husbands.
so they dint have long to worry about it then...
That's a lot of A-holes. And one Hussein.
I wish we could outsource our prisons and punishment to KSA, Singapore, and China.
Beheading robbers is an excellent idea.
Include thieving politicians in that and I would agree.🤨
Isn’t “thieving politicians” a redundancy?
KSA or Singapore would be too good for most of ‘em. A supermajority of both houses need a South African style necklace.
Probably.😏
