Many of them happened when he was seventeen years old.<br>He was executed on June 15 in Dammam, according to a statement issued by the Saudi Ministry of Interior.<br>Amnesty International and Reprieve said his confession was extracted under duress and that he retracted his confession in court, which he said was extracted under torture.<br>The eastern region has been the scene of peaceful demonstrations since February 2011. Demonstrators are calling for reforms, freedom of expression, the release of political prisoners, and an end to economic and religious discrimination against the oil-rich region. The protests were met with severe repression by the regime and security forces reinforced security measures in the province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human rights activists have warned that the Saudi authorities are planning to execute dozens of teenagers from the Shia-populated Qatif region in the Eastern Province for their participation in peaceful protests against the regime.Although Saudi officials claimed last year that they halted the practice of executing people for crimes they committed when they were minors, &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":76461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_108372464460192_245495985553329":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,31,11],"tags":[219,38,79],"class_list":["post-76267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-islam","category-news","category-saudi","tag-human-rights","tag-saudi-arabia","tag-shia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
