Saudi Arabia beheads 37 people, crucifies one, in one day!

According to CNN, Saudi Arabia has executed 37 men, most of them minority Shiites, including minors, convicted of terror-related crimes. One of the convicts was crucified, according to an interior ministry statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

Saudi Arabia under Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman is transforming into a liberal nation that advocates equal rights for women. But certain incidents like the brutal murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has tainted the polished and liberal image of the Crown Prince.

"The death penalty was implemented on a number of criminals for adopting extremist terrorist ideologies and forming terrorist cells to corrupt and disrupt security as well as spreading chaos and provoking sectarian strife," SPA said in a tweet.

After the January 2, 2016 mass execution of 47 people for terror-related crimes, this marks the largest number of executions in a single day. The execution was widely criticized and gathered collective outrage among netizens.
