Riayadh (HRNW)- Saudi Arabia has shattered its own grim record, executing 356 people in 2025, according to a new analysis by Human Rights Watch. This marks the second consecutive year of record-breaking execution rates. Many of those killed were convicted in trials that international observers say fell far short of global standards. Activists are demanding an immediate moratorium on the death penalty as the pace of killings shows no sign of slowing in early 2026.
