SAUDI ARABIA: TWO BEHEADED FOR RAPING MINORS
June 25, 2014: Saudi authorities beheaded two nationals convicted of raping minors in two separate cases.
Hamad bin Meshehen al-Rashidi was found guilty of kidnapping and raping a seven-year-old boy before throwing him into a well and killing him, SPA news agency reported. Rashidi was executed in Qassim Province.
In the other case, Issa bin Mohammed al-Rashidi was condemned of kidnapping and raping a minor, and attempting to kidnap another. He was executed in Hail province.
The beheadings bring to 15 the number of death sentences carried out this year in the ultra-conservative kingdom. (Sources: AFP, 26/06/2014)
