Saudi Arabia has executed at least 153 people this year, nearing last year’s record high of 158, according to figures collated by human rights organization Reprieve. Among those executed this year were at least 4 juveniles who were killed as part of a mass execution of 47 people in January this year. One of them, Ali al-Ribh, was arrested in school, tortured into a false ‘confession’ to protest-related charges, and executed.
