The report revealed that the six bloodiest years of executions in Saudi Arabia’s recent history (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022) have all occurred under the leadership of Mohammed bin Salman as the country’s crown prince and de facto ruler and his father.
It highlighted that there was an average of 129.5 executions per year within the time span of 2015-2022, marking an increase of 82%.
