AFP Published: 19/08/2014 01:03 PM Saudi beheaded for murder as Amnesty urges halt to executions RIYADH - A Saudi national convicted of murder was decapitated by the sword in the southwest of the Gulf kingdom on Tuesday, the interior ministry said. Wail al-Shehri, convicted of shooting dead Meshaal Assiri during an argument, was executed on Tuesday in Abha, capital of Assir province, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency. The beheading by sword raises to 33 the number of executions announced in Saudi Arabia so far this year, according to an AFP tally. Rights watchdog Amnesty International on Monday denounced in a statement what it called a disturbing surge in the use of the death penalty in Saudi Arabia. https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/gulfnews/560722-saudi-beheaded-for-murder-as-amnesty-urges-halt-to-executions
