Executions in Saudi Arabia: There has been a lot of increase in the death penalty in Saudi Arabia last year. Amnesty International has expressed concern in this regard on Monday (July 7, 2025). Workers of Amnesty International said that the death sentence in Saudi Arabia has increased. He has expressed concern over the increasing sentence of death in cases related to non-sensational drugs.

According to Amnesty, 345 people have been hanged by Saudi Arabia in the last year. This figure is the highest recorded by the organization in the last three decades. In the first half of this year, 180 people have been sentenced to death only from January 2025 to June 2025. In such a situation, it is now being speculated that this record can break once again.

Human rights organization expressed concern

According to the Human Rights Organization Reprus, about two-thirds of the people who have been hanged so far this year were convicted in cases of non-sensational drugs. Amnesty has also expressed concern about the death penalty in such cases.

Saudi Arabia has not yet clarified why he is using the death sentence in such a large number and that too especially in cases of non-sensational drugs. According to the news agency Associate Press, when Saudi officials were asked about the death sentence, they did not respond.

However, the number of death sentence in Saudi Arabia is completely reversed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2022, in which he said that Saudi now gives death sentence only in murder cases.

What statement did Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia make,

In an interview to ‘The Atlantic’, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia said, ‘As far as the death penalty is concerned, we have abolished it except for a category (drug), which is clearly written in the Quran. Therefore, we cannot do anything in it, no matter what. Because this is the direct education of the Quran.

Saudi Arabia Ban Visa for Pakistan: Saudi Arabia has imposed a temporary ban on giving visas to 14 countries of the world including Pakistan. On the matter, Pakistani woman YouTuber Nila Khan interacted with Awam on a visa related issue. He asked Awam that Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country. Despite this, he has stopped giving visas to Pakistan. On this, a Pakistani woman said that the people of Pakistan go to Saudi Arabia and begging. They do not go there and contribute in any way. Perhaps this is the reason why Saudi Arabia has refused to give a visa. However, despite this, this is not good news for us. This is a very shocking decision from Saudi Arabia. After a few days the journey of Haj is going to start. Before that, this decision will cause trouble for many people.

Another Pakistan person said on the issue of visa that people of the world burns Pakistan. Saudi Arabia also no longer wants to give visas to Pakistanis. We have a lot of talent. We go anywhere where we do amazing. Despite this, Pakistanis have been maligned everywhere. However, Nila cut the person’s words and said that if this is the case then why are we not being given a visa? He said that Saudi Arabia had caught thousands of beggars last year. Most of them were people of Pakistani origin.
