These are among the human rights that countries and humanity have been calling for throughout ages. I swear by Allah Almighty that he deserves more than that.

In my view, this is a crime and not an execution, because execution is carried out according to its own official procedures, even though execution itself is banned in developed countries, as it is against human rights, and instead it is commuted to life imprisonment. So, this should be reviewed and thoroughly looked into, because severing a human head, regardless of whether it is the head of a criminal, a guilty individual or an innocent one, is an abominable act; it reflects the barbarity of the state, and makes others think of us as barbarians. Indeed, I think that anyone who does this does not have a human heart, because it is one that is devoid of mercy. I believe that this method is a violation of human rights, even in matters of death. All the human rights organizations should stand against these executions that are carried out in Saudi Arabia, which the murderers here enjoy. The executed individual is one of the sons of the country, and I wonder what he could have done so as to have his head cut off. What religion are they following in Saudi Arabia? They sentence people to whipping and beheading according to laws that have not been revealed by Allah. I think that Saudi Arabia really needs to change many of the erroneous things there.
