RIYADH (Dispatches) -- Saudi authorities have executed a young man from Qatif region in the kingdom’s oil-rich and Shia-populated Eastern Province over trumped-up allegations of terrorist activities.
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) citing the Ministry of Interior, reported on Monday that the death sentence was carried out against Adnan bin Mustafa al-Sharfa. The ministry alleged that the Saudi national had “smuggled weapons to and from the kingdom and was part of a terrorist cell that aims to destabilize security in the country.”
