In Saudi Arabia, where the rate of state executions
is rising. Up to mid August it stood at a record 251,
over 100 more than the same period last year.
The international threshold for a state execution
is that it should be because of intentional killing,
79% of the state deaths in Saudi Arabia this year
are for crimes well below that threshold.
67% of the executions were for drug related offences
and a high percentage of them were for foreigners.
The proportions of executions of women remains
undeclared, but in this patriarchal theocracy
we don't need much imagination to fear the worst.
