Saudi authorities have executed at least 100 people this year, Amnesty International reports. The country’s execution rate is among the world’s highest.
In a statement on Friday, the activists said they documented several cases in which people had been sentenced to death for social media posts or drug-related offenses in “grossly unfair trials that fell far short of international human rights standards.”
“The authorities’ relentless killing spree raises serious fears for the lives of young men on death row who were under 18 at the time of the crimes,” Amnesty said.
