Foreign Ministry: By Executing Prisoners, Saudi Regime Once Again Shows Disregard for International Laws

News - Yemen: Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sana'a called on the international community, the Security Council, the Human Rights Council, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the relevant organizations to condemn the mass execution crime committed by the Saudi regime, and to put pressure on Saudi Arabia to respect international humanitarian law. 

The Saudi regime executed as many as 81 prisonersincluding seven Yemenis and a Syrian,  in a single day on Saturday over what it called “terror-related offenses,” in the largest mass execution carried out in the kingdom in recent memory. 

Two Yemeni prisoners on exchange lists under the auspices of the United Nations, were among the executed. 

The Yemeni Foreign Ministry said that the Saudi regime's crime against the prisoners is not the first and represents another evidence of the Saudi regime's level of disregard for international norms and laws.

The Ministry stressed that targeting prisoners is a war crime that contradicts all laws, norms and human values.

The executions have been followed by waves of popular protests, especially in the kingdom’s east. Domestic and regional groupings have been issuing condemnatory statements against the country.

In a statement, the Arabian Peninsula Opposition bloc, which is an umbrella for Saudi dissidents, said the 41 executed prisoners, belonged to the peaceful al-Hirak al-Janoubi movement. The bloc of Saudi dissidents called the kingdom’s de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman “nothing more than a murderer, who enjoys shedding the blood of the innocent,” saying the mass execution was carried out against young people, who had exercised their right to express their opinion and had been imprisoned as a result.

Rights groups condemned the executions, saying “they flew in the face of” claims by bin Salman “that the country was overhauling its justice system and limiting its use of the death penalty.”
