Is this what progress looks like in Saudi Arabia? The kingdom is
considering ending execution by beheading in favor of firing squads,
reports the Egyptian English-language news website Ahram Online
. A
committee consisting of representatives from the Ministries of
Interior, Justice and Health says there are shortages in government
swordsmen and argue that a change to execution by firing squad would not
violate Islamic law, the Saudi daily newspaper a
l-Youm writes.
According to an official statement from the committee, “This solution
seems practical, especially in light of shortages in official swordsmen
or their belated arrival to execution yards in some incidents.”
