Saudi's Modern Face Hides Execution Surge
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Riyadhs Deera Square, once a grim site of public executions, now hosts cafes and palm trees. However, Saudi Arabias execution rate has surged to a record high, with two-thirds tied to a drug war. Crown Prince MBS has pushed for reforms, but the death penalty remains, often for non-violent crimes, raising concerns about human rights amidst Saudis economic transformation.
