Rights groups say 2024 marks largest number of foreigners executed in kingdom's history
More than 100 foreigners were executed by Saudi Arabia in 2024, according to a tally by AFP.
On Saturday, the official Saudi Press Agency reported the execution of a Yemeni national convicted of smuggling drugs into the kingdom.
According to the AFP tally - which the agency compiled from state media reports - that brought to 101 the number of foreigners executed so far in 2024, almost triple the figures for 2023 and 2022.
"This is the largest number of executions of foreigners in one year. Saudi Arabia has never executed 100 foreigners in a year," said Taha al-Hajji, legal director for the Berlin-based European-Saudi Organisation for Human Rights (ESOHR).
AFP said foreigners executed this year included 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 each from Sudan, India and Afghanistan, and one each from Sri Lanka, Eritrea and the Philippines.
Saudi human rights defenders and lawyers have accused Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman of overseeing a crackdown on freedom of expression since he came to power, including the introduction of a counterterrorism law that Human Rights Watch has criticised for its broad definition of terrorism.
Two new bodies used to suppress activists - the Presidency of State Security and the Public Prosecution Office - were established by royal decrees in the same year.
In 2022, Saudi Arabia ended a three-year moratorium on the execution of drug offenders, and executions for drug-related crimes have boosted this year's numbers, with 92 such executions so far this year.
The kingdom remains one of the world’s most prolific executioners.
At least 1,115 executions have been carried out under bin Salman’s rule between 21 June 2017 and 9 October 2024.
Additionally, according to Reprieve, Saudi Arabia has repeatedly lied to the UN about its use of the death penalty.
The Saudis don’t play when it comes to dealing drugs. Honestly....I can’t say I blame them. We don’t execute drug dealers and we’re losing 100,000 Americans per year to Fentanyl.
When I visited Singapore 10 years ago, I saw signs posted saying drug dealers get automatic death penalty.
Not only don't we execute them, we celebrate them in our ghetto 'rap' and Hollywood mass entertainment, which the Left promotes and protects as untouchable "ethnic" culture.
And then we allow them free and open transit across our borders.
Goals!
Guest workers.
Well, that’s one way to discourage illegal immigration.
When one goes to Saudi he/she should clearly understand the rules...and understand the dangers.That includes moslems *and* "infidels"!
“AFP said foreigners executed this year included 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 each from Sudan, India and Afghanistan, and one each from Sri Lanka, Eritrea and the Philippines.”
Readers here are wrongly assuming all the noted executions are for drugs. Blasphemy against Islam is a capital crime in Saudi Arabia.
I’m all about executing drug smugglers and dealers.
I spent three months in Saudi Arabia sometime around 1988. It was a military deployment before the first Persian Gulf War occurred.
My supervisor would go out to chop-chop square often to witness beheading and other forms of punishment. I never had the guts to do that.
How many Americans were killed by illegal “immigrants” in 2024?
In Singapore it's largely Aussies who are executed for drugs.Singapore is a very popular vacation spot for Aussies.
Having worked in a big city ER and seen the disgusting devastation that heroin (and other drugs) does I firmly support execution for those dealing certain drugs.
More than 13,000 immigrants convicted of homicide — either in the United States or abroad — are living outside of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, according to data ICE provided to Congress earlier this week.
The immigrants are part of ICE’s “non-detained” docket, meaning the agency has some information on the immigrants and they have pending immigration cases in the U.S., but they are not currently in detention either because they are not prioritized for detention, they are serving time in a jail or prison for their crimes, or because ICE cannot find them, three law enforcement officials said.
He was a former US military officer. She actually liked wearing kind of a burka. She could go out without having to get all dressed up. Just make up on her face. Plus, she had a male driver the whole time she was there to take her anywhere she wanted to go. Of course, they also lived inside a walled compound. With servants.
The worst thing for her was the summers. 120 degrees in the shade at times. The other thing she is a huge DOG lover. No dogs over there.
“about executing drug smugglers and dealers.”
It’s either that or effectively legalize drugs.
All the in-between steps just created a massive creepy bureaucratic police state monster that the Deep State uses against normal people. The Deep State is probably a bigger threat to normal people than druggies.
Basically, pick one or the other, no middle.
We executed 23 under Trump in ‘19 and 24 last year, and that’s ALL TYPES. Keep in mind we have 10x their population.
So my conclusion from that is we should be executing MANY more.
One outrageous example is this guy:

That’s how THEY deal with their foreign lawbreakers
