A human rights group told the Times that, out of the cases it could track, it had not found that any of the individuals who were executed actually met the criteria for execution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese individuals, totaling 81, were convicted of various crimes including murdering innocent men, women and children,\u201d the official Saudi Press Agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spa.gov.sa\/viewfullstory.php?lang=en&#038;newsid=2336748#2336748\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cCrimes committed by these individuals also include pledging allegiance to foreign terrorist organizations, such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the Houthis, targeting residents in the Kingdom and traveling to regional conflict zones to join terrorist organizations. They also include convictions for targeting government personnel and vital economic sites, the killing of law enforcement officers and maiming their bodies, and planting land mines to target police vehicles. Moreover, the convictions include crimes of kidnapping, torture, rape, smuggling arms and bombs into the Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe aforementioned individuals were arrested, tried in Saudi courts, through trials overseen by a total of 13 judges over 3 separate stages of trial for each individual,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cThe accused were provided with the right to an attorney and were guaranteed their full rights under Saudi law during the judicial process, which found them guilty of committing multiple heinous crimes that left a large number of civilians and law enforcement officers dead. The Kingdom will continue to take a strict and unwavering stance against terrorism and extremist ideologies that threaten the stability of the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
