Daily digital news desk: During the reign of Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, the death penalty rate in Saudi Arabia increased by leaps and bounds. In 2022 alone, 147 people were sentenced to death in that country. Among them, 81 people were convicted in March last year!
Statistics show that between 2015 and 2022, 129 people were executed annually. Which is 82 percent more than the period from 2010 to 2014. Two international human rights organizations ‘European Saudi Organization for Human Rights’ and ‘Reprive’ have given this sensational calculation. As a result of the denunciations of these organizations, the discrimination and injustice, this number of death sentences have been carried out. It should be noted that Salman debuted as the Prince of Saudi Arabia in 2015. After Abdullah’s death, his half-brother Salman became the crown prince.

It is also believed that the Saudi prince wants to send a clear warning to his opponents and political opponents with this type of punishment. I understand Yuvraj’s message that opposition of any kind will not be tolerated. Such is the demand of informed circles. However, Yuvraj said that only crimes such as murder would be punishable by death. But in reality, in many cases, sudden death sentences are being handed down to those involved in non-violent movements. A US intelligence report says a Saudi journalist has also been executed. The accusation against the journalist was against the State.
Since becoming the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Salman has embraced extreme policies. According to informed sources, he is giving extreme warning by using the death sentence as a ‘weapon’ in this way. Yuvraj has created a virtually ‘opposition free’ situation since he came to power. From the beginning, he suppressed the opposition with a heavy hand. According to informed sources, he is giving extreme warning by using the death sentence as a ‘weapon’ in this way. Human rights organizations are concerned about this.
