SAUDI ARABIA: SAUDI MAN EXECUTED OVER TERRORISM CHARGES

A Saudi man was executed in Dammam on 6 September 2021 on charges of terrorism and weapons smuggling, the interior ministry said.
The man was found guilty of belonging to a terrorist cell and targeting security personnel by shooting at them, it said in a statement.
He was also charged "with smuggling weapons in and out of the country and of being a member of a terrorist cell with the aim of destabilising national security", the ministry said.
Last month, Amnesty International said at least 40 people were executed between January and July in Saudi Arabia, more than for the whole of 2020.
