| Seven in KSA face crucifixion and firing squad for armed robbery |
| 2013-03-06 |
| One of seven KSA residents due to be put to death on Tuesday by crucifixion and firing squad for armed robbery, speaking over a smuggled mobile phone from his prison cell, has appealed for help to stop the executions. Nasser al-Qahtani told Aypee from Abha general prison on Monday that he was arrested as part of 23-member ring that stole from jewellery stores in 2004 and 2005. He said they had been tortured to confess and had no access to lawyers. "I killed no one. I didn't have weapons while robbing the store, but the police tortured me, beat me up and threatened to assault my mum to extract confessions that I had a weapon with me while I was only 15," he said. "We don't deserve death." A leading human rights group added its appeal to KSA authorities to stop the executions. |
