Saudi Arabia executed seven people on Tuesday for terrorism charges, the largest single-day total since 81 were executed in March 2022.
According to the interior ministry of the Gulf monarchy, the seven were convicted of creating and financing terrorist organizations and entities.
Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s most prolific uses of capital punishment, has executed 29 individuals this year, after executing 170 in 2023.
The fundamentalist kingdom, renowned for beheadings, sparked a global outcry when it executed 81 individuals in a single day nearly two years ago.
The nationalities of the seven executed on Tuesday were not disclosed, although their names and titles indicated that they were Saudi.
They have been found guilty of adopting a terrorist approach that calls for bloodshed, establishing and financing terrorist organizations and entities, and communicating and dealing with them to disrupt the security and stability of society and pose a threat to national security.
