Saudi Arabia has executed 81 prisoners in a single day over ‘terror-related offenses,’ in the largest mass execution carried out by the Wahhabi state 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 latest executions by Saudi authorities in one day exceeded the total number of executions conducted in the Arab kingdom throughout 2021.
According to the announcement, the executions included people “convicted of various crimes, including the murdering of innocent men, women and children.” It also said among the executed were alleged members of the Takfiri terrorist groups of al-Qaeda and Daesh.
Furthermore, a number of purported members of Yemen’s popular Ansarullah movement were among the executed. The resistance movement has significantly helped the Yemeni army against a Saudi-led military coalition that has been waging a war on the Yemeni nation since March 2015.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases.
Takfiri terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and Daesh are widely believed to have their ideological roots in Wahhabism, the radical ideology dominating Saudi Arabia.
Wahhabism is blamed for forming Takfirism – the practice of denouncing subscribers to other schools of thought as “apostates” and considering their lives to be expendable.
