76 Executions in Saudi Arabia This Year.

Last year, Saudi Arabia had 27+ executions. This year, it’s already up to 76. This number seems like nothing in comparison to China, where there are claims that over 1,000 people are executed each year. Without putting China in perspective, this number is ridiculous, especially when you learn the reasons some people are executed. For instance, last Monday, a woman in her 60s was executed for practicing magic and sorcery.
Abdullah al-Mohsen, chief of the religious police, claimed she was tricking people into believe she could heal them of their illnesses for up to $800 per session. Execution seems slightly harsh, unless her treatments were killing her patients. In 2010, according to Amnesty, other countries with higher execution numbers included, Iran (252+), North Korea (60+), Yemen (53+), and USA, (46).
