US President Donald Trump\u2019s remarks in Riyadh will have terrifying consequences for the people of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>In recent years, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has learned that his regime can execute human rights protesters and child defendants without international censure<\/a>. But on Tuesday, Trump said the\u00a0quiet part out loud. To Saudi Arabia\u2019s de facto ruler, the president\u2019s promise of no more \u201clectures on how to live or how to govern your own affairs\u201d translates as \u201ckill as many people as you want, for whatever reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not long ago, I received a call from the mother of an Egyptian man on death row in Saudi Arabia. She told me he had been moved to an execution cell in Tabuk prison, near the Jordanian border, with around two dozen other Egyptian nationals. Every few days, guards would drag someone out to be killed. She compared the men to sheep herded into a slaughterhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relatives of other men confirmed her account. The guards appeared to relish inflicting terror, they said, by telling the prisoners a day in advance that an execution had been scheduled\u2014but not saying who. The men would spend a night in panic and confusion, fearing the next dawn would be their last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the reality of Mohammed bin Salman\u2019s Saudi Arabia<\/a>. The \u201cland of peace, safety, harmony\u201d extolled by Trump is one of the world\u2019s most repressive dictatorships and most prolific executioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 345 people were executed in Saudi Arabia<\/a> last year, according to official announcements cross-checked by\u00a0Reprieve\u00a0and the\u00a0European Saudi Organisation for Human Rights. This was a 76 percent increase from the previous high of 196 executions in 2022, including\u00a0record numbers\u00a0of women (nine), alleged drug offenders (122), and foreign nationals (138). The ongoing killing spree is unprecedented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The men in the death cell in Tabuk are not murderers. Our clients\u00a0Ahmed Zeinhom and Rami al-Najjar, a textile worker and taxi driver, were caught with 8 grams of cannabis and convicted on manufactured drug-smuggling charges. They could be executed at any time for recreational drug use that is legal in 24 U.S. states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This directly contradicts Mohammed bin Salman\u2019s false claims to have restricted capital punishment to \u201cif a person kills a person\u201d and to have gotten \u201crid of all of it, except for one category \u2026 written in the Quran.\u201d In fact, the death penalty is being applied more widely than ever. Dissent is punishable by death, and anyone smoking marijuana risks their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi officials lie constantly about this. At a United Nations committee session I attended last year in Geneva, a spokesperson claimed that the country only executes people for the most serious violent crimes, ignoring the execution of a Nigerian for alleged drugs offenses just three days earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regime similarly claims to have abolished the death penalty for childhood crimes, yet Abdullah al-Howaiti, who was 14 years old when he was tortured into falsely confessing to a murder,\u00a0remains\u00a0on death row. Abdullah al-Derazi could also be executed at any time for the\u00a0alleged crime\u00a0of attending protests when he was 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crown prince is acutely sensitive to international criticism\u2014sensitive enough to order the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018,\u00a0according to the CIA. Last week, British citizen Ahmed al-Doush was\u00a0sentenced\u00a0to 10 years in a Saudi prison, apparently for a single\u00a0deleted tweet\u2014although the Saudi justice system is so secretive that even the British government doesn\u2019t know what crime he was convicted of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, while we cannot say for certain why executions have surged\u2014in a country with no constitution, penal code, independent legislative body, or free press\u2014we can reasonably speculate that the regime takes international opinion into account. With attention focused on Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, Saudi authorities saw an opportunity to step up executions without diplomatic fallout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\u00a0graph\u00a0representing executions in Saudi Arabia, there is a dip in 2020 and 2021. Partly this was due to COVID-19 lockdowns and partly an undeclared moratorium on executions for drug offenses. But with hindsight, it was also the brief moment when the regime feared meaningful consequences for Khashoggi\u2019s murder. Once it became apparent there would be none, the killing intensified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, soccer\u2019s governing body, was\u00a0in the audience\u00a0for Trump\u2019s speech, months after awarding the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia in a process with no rival bidders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, daily executions, often in batches, have become the new normal. Despite the traditional monthlong pause for Ramadan, the Saudi regime has already executed 112 people so far this year, including 68 convicted of drug offenses and 12 of nonlethal \u201cterrorism\u201d offenses, which in practice often means that they protested against the regime and were then tried, convicted, sentenced, and executed in secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s ode to the \u201cbeautiful thing that\u2019s happening\u201d in Saudi Arabia made it clear that as far as his administration is concerned, Mohammed bin Salman\u2019s regime has total impunity. Other world leaders may be less candid, but we have seen time and again that they lack the moral courage to object to Saudi atrocities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fear that this new, openly transactional geopolitical era will be a very dark time for the Saudi people and that in the shadows of the \u201cexpanding personal freedoms\u201d praised by Trump, many more innocent lives will be cut short.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
