Saudi Arabia’s Mass Executions: Who they were and What they did?

Date:

by Talal Mohammed Al-Faisal

Only when the defendant/ has been found guilty by all three courts is the sentence carried out

Saudi Arabia announced on Saturday that it had executed 81 men. Here are the details about who they were and what they did.

But before we get into that, we need to understand a little background about the legal process in Saudi Arabia. 

There are several stages to the process starting with the Criminal Court. When someone is found guilty of a capital crime in that court, the case then moves to the Appellate Court. If they are still found guilty, the case moves to the Supreme Court.

If either the Appellate Court or the Supreme Court finds the defendant/s not guilty, the case goes back to the Criminal Court for a retrial. Only when the defendant/ has been found guilty by all three courts is the sentence carried out.

Now, what have all three courts found the different defendants guilty of:
