31 October 2024 :
Two Saudis were executed on October 31, 2024 for committing criminal and terror acts in Saudi Arabia.
The two citizens — Sultan bin Muhammad bin Kamikh Al-Otaibi and Turki bin Muhammad bin Ashish Al-Hazmi — committed acts that involved betraying their country, collaborating with terrorist entities, and adopting a terrorist approach in which they "sacrificed blood, money, and honour with the aim of disrupting the security and stability of society".
The two were charged of committing these acts by the Public Prosecution, after which the competent court issued a ruling against them. They were then sentenced to death.
The execution was carried out on October 31 in Riyadh.
The Ministry of Interior affirmed that the government would take the necessary action to establish security, achieve justice, and "cut off anyone who attempts to harm the nation’s security or endanger its unity".
The authority also said that punishment would be carried out against any one who commits these acts.
