Saudi Arabia: A woman beheaded in the road, five headless corpses hanging from cranes

Saudi Arabia: A woman beheaded in the road, five headless corpses hanging from cranes, by Peter Osborne. A documentary airing in Britain sheds light on life in Saudi Arabia.

See the link for footage of a woman, convicted of killing her stepdaughter, held down at the side of a public road by four Saudi policemen and executed with a sword blow to the neck, as she screams: ‘I did not do it.’ Also pictures of five bodies hang from a pole suspended between two cranes, of a gang of five robbers who were publicly beheaded before their corpses were hoisted high in the air, where they remained for days.

Saudi Arabia is the home of Islam. There are no Christian churches or Jewish synagogues permitted in Saudi Arabia.
