Amnesty International has expressed alarm at reports that the authorities in Saudi Arabia are planning to execute dozens of people in a single day.
The newspaper Okaz said 55 people were awaiting execution for "terrorist crimes", while a now-deleted report by al-Riyadh said 52 would die soon.
They are thought to include Shia who took part in anti-government protests.
Amnesty said that given the spike in executions this year, it had no option but to take the reports very seriously.
The group believes at least 151 people have been put to death in Saudi Arabia so far this year - the highest recorded figure since 1995.

I consider Amnesty International a terrorist organization.
Good. Can we watch?
We watch `em,
they chop `em.
Personally I believe the Saudi’s are the masters of BS. In this particular case they are murdering people pure, and simple just as Obama wishes he could. Calling them Terrorists gets them accolades, and more trust from the West while in fact they are simply executing internal troublemakers.
The Saudis are clearly masters of certitude. Their moral compasses are all dialed into one thing, retaining rule and power in Saudi Arabia, and using a very potent economic weapon to enforce that supremacy.
If that economic weapon also gives them the moral authority to execute anyone who would act in any way to disrupt that concentrated power, then by all means, maintaining civil order is wholly justified in their eyes.
All their lives, they been waiting, tonight, there’ll be no hesitating.
Thank God it is not water boarding! That would be offensive!
America needs to find who stole its balls.
You could if you were over there.
Every Friday in Chop-Chop square. Americans were given special seats up front.
They wanted to make sure you understood the rules.
Chop...chop...chop. Is that the “most beautiful sound” to which Clown Prince nobama was referring?
