Abdullah Al-Derazi

Was the 300th person in 2025
to be executed in Saudi-Arabia
for protesting against a regime
that he could not see clearly enough
in advance of his becoming an adult would punish him.

His family were never told of his imminent death,
they were never going to say 'Goodbye' to him,
nor will they be given the body for burial,
where Saudi Arabia likes to punish the family
as much as they like to criminalise individual.

Abdullah Al-Derazi enjoyed raising birds by hand
No more will he hand-rear birds and nurture them,
the way he long dreamed of doing with his father.  

Saudi Arabia ranks at no 36 out of 172 countries
 in the ranking of the worst civil rights records,
between Turkey and Pakistan, with Azerbaijan close behind.
At no 1, the worst country in the world to live in is Iran.   

Expect more executions to be announced soon, or left click here.

Welcome To The Crackdown

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.
