Saudi Arabia executes member of royal family
A prince was convicted of murder. It is extremely rare for the Kingdom to execute a member of the royal Saudi family. Although details were not forthcoming, in most Saudi executions the convicted are beheaded in public. According to human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, Saudi Arabia ranks only behind China, Iran, and (probably) North Korea in annual executions. KSA has executed 120+ individuals so far in 2016.
