August 5, 2014: Man beheaded in Saudi Arabia for torturing toddler son to death. A Saudi man was beheaded Tuesday for torturing and beating his two-year-old boy to death, AFP reported. Maqbul bin Madi al-Sharari hit his son Mohammed “repeatedly with a cane on the back of his head and the rest of his body,” the Interior Ministry said. He also punched the toddler in the face and “burned him in different parts of his body, torturing him several times,” according to SPA state news agency.
Another Saudi man, Mohammed bin Bakr al-Alawi, was beheaded after being convicted of sorcery, a separate statement from the ministry said.

Authorities in Saudi Arabia have executed four members of the same extended family for drugs possession. The two sets of brothers were killed on Monday in the south-eastern city of Najran after being convicted of receiving large quantities of hashish. The case against them was reportedly based on confessions extracted under torture, Amnesty International said. There had been a "disturbing" surge in the use of the death penalty in the kingdom, the human rights group added. There have been 17 executions in the past two weeks, compared with 17 in the previous six months. In 2013, the Saudi authorities executed at least 79 people, three of whom were under 18 at the time of the crimes for which they were condemned. - The four executed men - Hadi al-Mutlaq, Awad al-Mutlaq, Mufrih al-Yami and Ali al-Yami - were arrested and detained by the interior ministry's General Directorate of Investigations on several occasions after their alleged offence in 2007, Amnesty said. - They were reportedly tortured during interrogation, including with beatings and sleep deprivation, in order to extract false confessions. - Amnesty said it had been contacted by their family on Thursday amid fears that their executions were imminent.-It sought further information on the case, but within hours was informed that the family had been warned by interior ministry officials to stop contacting the group.-"This apparent intimidation and surveillance of victims of human rights violations and activists adds another sinister layer to Saudi Arabia's use of the death penalty," said Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa programme deputy director Said Boumedouha.- "It is clear evidence that the authorities are willing to go to extreme lengths to prevent reports of gross human rights violations in the country from reaching the outside world."

- Shia Cleric Hanging 2015 Skeikh al-Nimr became a symbol of the 2011 insurrection when the Arab Spring came to Saudi Arabia. He led Shia Muslim street protests throughout the country, demanding constitutional changes, liberties and an end to anti-Shia discrimination in the kingdom. Sheikh al-Nimr was arrested on July 8, 2012 in disputed circumstances, after police tracked him down in the eastern province of Qatif and shot him in the leg during a shootout.
- Todesstrafe in Saudi-Arabien für Hexerei und Zauberei (Russian Television, 23.04.2012 A Sri Lankan woman is currently facing decapitation by sword on a witchcraft charge in Saudi Arabia, in accordance with Wahhabism, a strict form of Sunni Islam. The UN reports executions tripled in the kingdom in 2011. A Saudi man complained that in a shopping mall his 13-year-old daughter “suddenly started acting in an abnormal way, which happened after she came close to the Sri Lankan woman,” reports the daily Okaz. -After the local man denounced the Sri Lankan for casting a spell on his daughter, police in the port city of Jeddah found it sufficient cause to arrest the woman.- Witchcraft and sorcery imply only one measure in Saudi Arabia – beheading. And it works this way in practice: last year in the kingdom at least two people – a woman in her 60s and a Sudanese man – were beheaded on witchcraft charges.- In the absolute monarchy that Saudi Arabia is, a criminal code does not exist per se. Court sentences are based on Islamic Sharia law on the interpretation of judges.
