Two Pakistani nationals crucified at public park in Rivadeh

5 July 2018: Adam Khan Iyas Khan and Asad Mohammed Yousef Khan, two Pakistan nationals, were executed and their bodies crucified in a public park of Rivadeh for committing a series of capital crimes against a number of expatriates in the Kingdom, including assassination, robbery, and theft, according to the Interior Minister.

Saudi Arabia executes more Pakistanis than any other foreign nationality annually, nearly all for heroin smuggling, according to the study by Justice Project Pakistan and Human Rights Watch (HRW). Sixty-six Pakistanis were beheaded in the country between 2014 and 2017 alone, according to the report entitled “Caught in a Web”. With 1.6 million nationals, Pakistanis constitute the second largest foreign community in Saudi Arabia, and most are members of a low-skilled workforce with few rights. Some 2,795 Pakistanis are currently imprisoned in Saudi Arabia.
