So far this year, the Saudi authorities have put 100 people to death. Last year\u00a0they killed\u00a0154 people. The year before that, 157 people.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 5 incredible facts about one of the world\u2019s most prolific executors:<\/p>\n<h2>1. <strong>In 2015 Saudi Arabia advertised for 8 new executioners to cope with the rise in executions.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The advert specified no special qualifications and described the main role as \u201cexecuting a judgment of death\u201d. Performing amputations on those convicted of lesser offences was also part of the role. That year, the authorities executed 157 people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Saudi Arabia\u2019s main method of execution is beheading with a sword.<\/h2>\n<p>Some reports suggest that executions can be carried out by \u2018crucifixion\u2019, which involves beheading and public display of the body on a cross.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. The death penalty in Saudi Arabia is regularly imposed for offences including attendance at political protests.<\/h2>\n<p>The Kingdom retains the death penalty for non-lethal \u2018crimes\u2019 like adultery, drug offences and sorcery. In 2015, a Palestinian poet was sentenced to death for apostasy for publishing a book of poetry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Executions are either carried out in complete secrecy or in public.<\/h2>\n<p>One of the locations in Riyadh for executions is known locally as \u2018Chop-Chop Square\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. In January 2016, the Saudi authorities carried out a mass execution.<\/h2>\n<p>The Saudi authorities killed 47 people in just one day. Among them were at least four juveniles, including Ali al-Ribh, who was arrested at his school, tortured into a false \u2018confession\u2019 to protest-related charges, and beheaded. His body was never returned to his family for burial.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div
