What are you trying to say? That it doesn't happen?





I'm not deflecting his action, I'm highlighting people that are hypocritical and love a good double standard.

Im saying it is not easy to be convicted of adultary in Saudi Arabia. You appear to be implying its a very common thing. It isnt.

Was it the King?

The buck stops with him.

The authorities severely restricted freedoms of expression, association and assembly. Many human rights defenders and critics were detained and some were sentenced to lengthy prison terms after unfair trials. Several Shi’a activists were executed, and many more were sentenced to death following grossly unfair trials before the Specialized Criminal Court (SCC). Torture and other ill-treatment of detainees remained common. Despite limited reforms, women faced systemic discrimination in law and practice and were inadequately protected against sexual and other violence. The authorities used the death penalty extensively, carrying out scores of executions. The Saudi-led coalition continued to commit serious violations of international law in Yemen.

This King, since 2015, who is trying to reform many of the laws in Saudi Arabia? or previous Kings?

Saudi Arabia 'spares' Sri Lankan maid in adultery case

The life of a Sri Lankan maid due to be stoned to death in Saudi Arabia for adultery has been spared, Sri Lanka's foreign ministry says.

She will instead be imprisoned, Sri Lankan Deputy Foreign Minister Dr Harsha de Silva announced.

An appeal by Sri Lanka was considered by Saudi Arabia and the execution order was withdrawn, he said.

The woman was convicted in August, along with an unmarried Sri Lankan man.

She was sentenced to death by stoning, while the man was sentenced to 100 lashes.

Saudi Arabia agreed to reopen the case of the woman - a 45-year-old mother of two - earlier this month.

There was no immediate comment in Saudi state media on the news the woman had been spared.

I;n April, King Salman issued a royal decree calling on government entities to refrain from requesting the authorization of a male guardian for any services unless stipulated in the regulations. The decree also ordered government entities to review their existing regulations and to prepare a list of procedures that would require a guardian’s permission. The decree could improve women’s freedom to control their own lives; however, it had not been implemented by the end of the year.'

As stated. He is making reforms.
The executions in Saudi Arabia are mostly for drug trafficking, and terrorism, but I think you know that.

3000 lies in around 400 days, regardless of his views he is unfit to be President.

But the loons still support him desperately clinging onto hope he will somehow eradicate their own failings in life

So a recorded interview with the Sun, has now just been called Fake News.

I'm sure this bloke is suffering from short term dementia.
