Saudi Arabia put 81 people to death on Saturday, marking the country’s largest number of single-day executions in decades, new reports say.
Some of those executed were convicted of aiding terrorist groups such as al Qaeda, the Islamic State, or Yemen’s Houthi rebels and killing women and children, the nation claimed.
“The accused were provided with the right to an attorney and were guaranteed their full rights under Saudi law during the judicial process, which found them guilty of committing multiple heinous crimes that left a large number of civilians and law enforcement officers dead,” the Saudi Press Agency said, according to the Associated Press.
