CAIRO - Amnesty International is condemning what it says is a sharp rise in beheadings in Saudi Arabia and is urging authorities in the kingdom to halt executions. Amnesty said in a Friday statement that the kingdom has executed at least 27 people this year. That's equal to the total number put to death in all of 2010. At least five of those executed this year were foreign nationals. The rights group says more than 100 others are on death row. Many of them are foreigners. The group highlighted the case of two brothers sentenced to death in 1998 for murder and at "imminent risk of execution." Amnesty says they had no access to lawyers. "However strongly the Saudi Arabian authorities support the death penalty, they must at least recognize that no one should be executed after such problematic legal proceedings and commute their death sentences," said Philip Luther, Amnesty International's Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa. Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which people convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery can be executed - usually with a sword.

Amnesty ag taithint ar an Iaráin gan cime a chur chun báis Tá Amnesty Idirnáisiúnta ag iarraidh ar rialtas na hIaráine gan cime a chur chun báis i bhfianaise go bhfuil sé ag teacht chuige féin i ndiaidh don chéad iarracht lena chur chun báis a chliseadh. Tháinig an cime, Alireza M, ar ais ina bheatha i ndiaidh do oibrí ag marbhlann tabhairt faoi deara go raibh sé ag bogadh tamall i ndiaidh dó a bheith crochta. Tá an fear ag fáil cúram leighis ó shin ach is rún do na húdaráis é a chrochadh an dara uair a luaithe is a bheith sé bisithe. Ciontaíodh an fear as smugláil drugaí. Measann lucht cearta daonna go bhfuil an Iaráin sa dara áit ar liosta na ndtíortha sin a chuireann cimí chun báis. Tá an tSín ag barr an liosta. Measann Amnesty gur cuireadh suas le 508 duine chun báis san Iaráin i mbliana. ‘Cuimhníonn an ‘athchrochadh’ seo dúinn chomh crualach is atá pionós an bháis agus táimid ag iarraidh ar an Iaráin éirí as an cur chuige seo’ arsa Philip Luther, stiúrthóir ar Amnesty sa Mheán Oirthear/Afraic Thuaidh.
