The Saudi Ministry of Interior announced, on Wednesday, the execution of a discretionary death sentence against 6 Iranians in the Eastern Province.

The Saudi Ministry of Interior said, in a statement, that Jassim Muhammad Shabani, Abdul-Rida Younis Tanqasiri, Khalil Shahid Samri, Muhammad Jawad Abdul-Jalil, Mehdi Kanaan Ghanemi, and Hur Muhammad Shabani, all of whom hold Iranian citizenship, smuggled “narcotic hashish” to... Kingdom.

She explained that the security authorities were able to arrest the perpetrators, and their investigation resulted in them being accused of committing the crime, and referring them to the competent court. A ruling was issued against them requiring that what was attributed to them be proven and that they be killed as a discretionary punishment.

The Saudi Press Agency reported that the ruling became final after it was appealed and then upheld by the Supreme Court, and a royal order was issued to implement it.

The Saudi Ministry of Interior affirmed “its keenness to protect citizens and residents from the scourge of drugs,” and warned against “imposing the harshest penalties prescribed by law against drug smugglers and dealers, due to the loss of innocent lives it causes, serious corruption among young people, the individual, and society, and a violation of their rights.”< /p>
