أعدمت #السعودية يوم الاثنين خمسة مهاجرين إثيوبيين على خلفية جرائم مخدرات لا تشمل القتل إثر محاكمات صُورية. عشرات آخرون مهددون بالمصير نفسه. ينبغي للسعودية احترام التزاماتها بموجب القانون الدولي ووقف هذه الإعدامات فورا. https://bit.ly/4yLcUGN

5 Ethiopian migrants were executed on Monday and there may be more executions soon to follow. None of these men received due process. Saudi's allies need to act now to pressure the Saudi govt into halting these executions.

“Dozens of vulnerable migrants remain at risk of imminent execution after trials that were barely trials at all, in a system that treats their lives as disposable.” - Joey Shea (@joeyshea.bsky.social), senior Saudi Arabia researcher at Human Rights Watch

"Saudi authorities are executing marginalized Ethiopian migrants after court hearings that sometimes barely last a few minutes without a lawyer or a translator.”

🚨Terrible news from Saudi Arabia, as 5 Ethiopian migrants have been executed for nonlethal drug-related offenses on July 27, without due process. Since the beginning of 2026, at least 17 Ethiopian nationals have been executed on drug-related charges. New from @hrw.org ⤵️

🚩NEW: On Monday, Saudi authorities executed 5 Ethiopian migrants for nonlethal drug-related offenses without due process. Urgent action is needed to prevent the unjust executions of dozens more vulnerable migrants who were sentenced to death after grossly unfair trials. www.hrw.org/news/2026/07...

FairSquare and @hrw.org have today written to candidates in the upcoming Manchester mayoral calling on them to publicly commit to engaging with the government of the UAE on its human rights record and support for the abusive Rapid Support Forces in Sudan. fairsq.org/fairsquare-a...

Enjoying #TDF2026? There's much more to it than meets the eye... Did you know that the United Arab Emirates back forces who are responsible for terrible atrocities in Sudan? More via @hrw.org / @joeyshea.bsky.social ⤵️ www.hrw.org/news/2026/07... #Sportswashing #TourDeFrance #Pogacar #Cycling

Today @hrw.org & @fairsq.bsky.social call on Manchester's mayoral candidates to condemn the UAE's abuses esp the UAE support of RSF in Sudan. Manchester City Council has a close financial relationship with senior figures in the UAE govt in particular Sheikh Mansour. www.hrw.org/news/2026/07...

Met 356 executies in een jaar vestigt Saudi-Arabië een triest record. Sinds mensenrechtenorganisatie Human Rights Watch de executies in het land begon te registreren, werden er nooit méér geteld. @joeysheart.bsky.social spreekt namens @hrw.org van een "huiveringwekkende trend".

🚩Yesterday Saudi authorities executed Abdullah al-Derazi for alleged crimes committed as a child. Saudi authorities reached two horrific milestones: the 300th execution of 2025 & the 2nd execution of a person accused of committing crimes as a child. @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

🚩On @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, Aziz Ansari said he would donate part of his Riyadh Comedy Fest fee to @hrw.org While HRW cannot accept the donation, it's not too late for him to call for the release of detained Saudi activists Manahel al Otaibi & Waleed Abu al Khair www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

"This whitewashing comes amid significant increase in repression... including a crackdown on free speech, which many of these comedians defend but people in Saudi Arabia are completely denied.” - @joeyshea.bsky.social

“Instead of using Alaa Abdel Fattah’s release as an opportunity to correct course, Egyptian authorities arbitrarily detained journalist Ismail Iskandarani after a lengthy Orwellian questioning over his Facebook posts.” New from @hrw.org / @amrmagdi.bsky.social ⤵️

Migrant workers are the backbone of Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy projects. But our new research shows they are being exploited and dehumanised in the very industry that should symbolise a sustainable future. Read the full report ➡️ www.business-humanrights.org/en/from-us/b...

"Terwijl internationale comedians worden uitgenodigd die zich regelmatig uitspreken over het belang van vrijheid van meningsuiting, lopen Saudiërs die hetzelfde doen het risico gevangengezet of geëxecuteerd te worden, zegt HRW."

Tim Dillon was scheduled to perform but said he was fired after he joked on his podcast about Saudi Arabia’s poor human rights record. “I am doing this because they are paying me a large sum of money,” Dillon said. “They are paying me enough money to look the other way.”

🚩Saudi govt is using the Riyadh Comedy Fest to deflect attention from its brutal repression The festival takes place on the 7th anniversary of Khashoggi's murder Lineup includes: Jimmy Carr, Pete Davidson and others @mazjobrani.bsky.social @sammorril.bsky.social www.hrw.org/news/2025/09...

Saudi authorities had executed at least 241 people in 2025 as of August 5, with 22 executions in the last week alone, according to Reprieve. Reprieve reported that the number of executions in 2025 would exceed all prior records if executions continue at the same rate.

Rampant due process violations and systemic abuses against defendants in Saudi Arabia’s courts and criminal justice system make it highly unlikely that any of those executed in 2025 received a fair trial.
