Saudi Arabia Executes Man for Crimes Committed as a Child
Original: Saudi Arabia: Man Executed for Childhood Offenses
Saudi Arabia has executed a man for offenses allegedly committed when he was a child, according to Human Rights Watch. The rights group says the execution violates international law, which prohibits the death penalty for crimes committed by minors, and contradicts Saudi assurances that such sentences are no longer carried out.
Why now: The execution contradicts Saudi Arabia's claimed reforms on juvenile death penalty cases, drawing human rights criticism.
