> These individuals, totaling 81, were convicted of various crimes including murdering innocent men, women and children. Crimes committed by these individuals also include pledging allegiance to foreign terrorist organizations, such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the Houthis, targeting residents in the Kingdom and traveling to regional conflict zones to join terrorist organizations. They also include convictions for targeting government personnel and vital economic sites, the killing of law enforcement officers and maiming their bodies, and planting land mines to target police vehicles. Moreover, the convictions include crimes of kidnapping, torture, rape, smuggling arms and bombs into the Kingdom. A little bit of a baity headline

That if you trust Saudis official media. In all cases, Saudi will have to share a report that dehumanizes the murdered ppl. You cannot just kill without citing reasons as to why. For the western media, they include words such as ALqaida and ISIS. Needless to say, they don't have to provide any rationale for their Saudis citizens, since they ultimately have the god power and the monarchy. A friend of mine, went to Saudi for a job. He was let go just because he tweeted stuff that criticizes the Saudi government and their involvement in our country. And he was lucky he was detained!

  Their definition of "terrorism" includes Abdulkarim al-Hawaj, who was 16 year old and sent texts about about a peaceful protest for the Shia minority. He was tortured and beheaded for this. Calling Saudi Arabia medieval is a grave insult to the Dark Ages.

    Their definition of "terrorism" includes "calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based".
