Afghan News Agency (AVA): Saudi media have reported that the government of this country has executed five people for the crime of terrorist attack on a Shia mosque in the east of this country.
According to reports, these five people, including four Saudi Arabian citizens and one Egyptian citizen, were executed on Monday, July 3.
They have been executed for the crime of attacking the Imam Hussain (AS) mosque nine years ago in the city of Dammam, located in the eastern province of Qatif, which left four martyrs and more than ten wounded.
A week before that, the mosque of Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) was targeted by a suicide attack in Qadih town of Qatif province. In this attack, 21 people were martyred and more than 80 others were injured. The eastern province of Qatif is the residence of the Shia of Saudi Arabia.
The ISIS group took responsibility for these two attacks.
Officials have not said anything about the execution method of the five, but people sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia are usually beheaded.
With this calculation, the number of people who have been executed for the crime of terrorism in Saudi Arabia since May 1 has reached 20 people.
Despite strong criticism from Amnesty International, Saudi Arabia also executed two Bahraini citizens in early May.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia executed 147 people last year and 60 people in 2021 on various charges.
According to information, this country executed 81 people in one day only in March 2022.
However, human rights groups said that since King Salman came to power in 2015, more than 1,000 people have been executed in the country.
