BBC News published this video item, entitled “Secretive Saudi Arabia executions leave families in the dark – BBC News” – below is their description.
The number of executions in Saudi Arabia has almost doubled under the Kingdom’s current leadership, according to new research.
That’s despite promises of reform from the Crown Prince and de facto leader, Mohammed Bin Salman.
A report by the campaign group Reprieve – shared exclusively with the BBC ahead of publication – also found that the death penalty has been routinely used for non-lethal offenses, in defiance of international norms.
