A staple in Saudi Arabia’s history
for centuries may soon come to an end. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia may use
different execution methods. One being discussed is using firing squads. There
is currently a lack of swordsmen and most are unavailable in certain regions,
so the Saudi Arabian princes should be free to use firing squads.
Often, the swordsmen who were
officially authorized to perform beheadings would show up to the beheadings
late. There are very few authorized, and were so busy travelling to conduct
executions and this would cause security confusion. Now the Saudi princes are
ready to move on to modern technology methods.
Saudi Arabia is currently the only
country in the world that still holds public beheadings. It is commonly the
punishment for murder, rape, drug trafficking, armed robbery and more.
Beheadings were treated as the proper Islamic method for execution under the
Koran. They have found that killing by gunfire would not cause any religious
violations under the Koran and it looks as if they will be moving into that direction.
It is assumed that they will still be liberal in determining what crimes must
be committed for a public execution.
