RIYADH: Saudi Arabia beheaded a Pakistani national on Wednesday in the holy city of Medina after convicting him of drug smuggling, the interior ministry said.
Bashir Khamis Ahmad was found guilty of trying to smuggle large quantities of heroin into the kingdom, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency.
The beheading brings to 60 the number of people executed in Saudi Arabia so far this year, according to an AFP tally based on official reports.
Amnesty International says 79 people were put to death in the Gulf kingdom last year.
Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under its strict version of sharia, or Islamic law.
I don’t understand why Pakistanis people do that , I think literacy rate should be increased in Pakistan , secondly one should know that he is destroying Pakistan image outside in other countries . thirdly Saudi Govt. should strict its visa policy .
they will not,because they cant get these kind of slaves from anywhere in 21st century.This is their culture to keep ghulams and laundis.So they still do it.
