Eye of Humanity Center condemns Saudi execution of 81 people, including seven Yemenis

SANAA, March 13 (YPA) –  Eye Humanity Center for Rights and development has condemned the criminal Saudi regime’s execution of 81 citizens from the Hejaz and the Eastern Province, in addition to the Yemeni prisoners.

In a statement, the center called on the United Nations, the Security Council and human rights organizations concerned with human rights to assume their responsibilities and to play their role in protecting detainees and prisoners of war.

It also called on the international community and all the honorable and free people of the world to assume their moral and humanitarian responsibilities in condemning these criminal acts.

Saudi Arabia has executed 81 prisoners in a single day over “terror-related offenses,” in the largest mass execution carried out by the highly-conservative Arab kingdom in recent memory.

In an announcement on Saturday, the state-run Saudi Press Agency said 81 inmates, including seven Yemenis and a Syrian, were executed, alleging that the suspects had been convicted of a variety of crimes, including killings and belonging to militant groups.

The mass execution in Saudi Arabia has drawn a strong wave of condemnation from various Islamic and Saudi opposition groups, which say most of those executed were jailed only for exercising their right to free expression of opinion.
