Arabien, ein Hort der Zivilisation
In Saudi Arabia,
a woman of Burmese origin was beheaded in the street in January, 2015. She

She is crying: “I did not kill!” In Saudi Arabien wurde eine Frau im Januar 2015 auf
offener Straße geköpft. Sie war wegen Mordes an ihrer 7jährigen Stieftochter

shows Saudi authorities publicly beheading a woman in the holy city of Mecca
earlier this week. The execution is the tenth to be carried out in country in
the last two weeks; setting 2015 up to be even more bloody than last year,
when 87 people were punitively killed by the state. Rare video of Monday's killing shows the woman, a Burmese
resident named as Lalia Bint Abdul Muttablib Basim, screaming while being
dragged along the street. Four police officers then hold the woman down
before a sword-wielding man slices her head off, using three blows to
complete the act. In the chilling recording, Bashim, who was
found guilty in a Saudi Sharia court of sexually abusing and murdering her
seven-year-old step-daughter, is heard protesting her innocence until the
very end. "I did not kill. I did not kill," she screams repeatedly. Beheading is widely seen in the country as
the most humane means of executing but death by stoning, crucifixion, and
death by firing squad is also carried out – by

Saudi Arabia beheads 'mentally ill female domestic worker' angering Indonesia Saudi Arabia has beheaded an Indonesian woman with a suspected mental illness accused of killing her reportedly abusive employer, in a move that drew the anger of Jakarta and rights groups. Amnesty International denounced the beheading as the latest in a "recent macabre spike in Saudi Arabia's state-sponsored killings", adding it was against international law to put to death a convict possibly suffering from mental ailments. Zainab, a
domestic worker, was sentenced to death in 1999 after she confessed to
stabbing to death Saudi woman Noura al-Morobei, who was described in the
Saudi press as her employer. Amnesty said sources in Indonesia claimed the woman had been mistreated at work and denounced the alleged cruel behaviour of al-Morobei and her son in two letters. Indonesian NGO Migrant Care went further, claiming that Zainab was actually acting in self-defence when she fatally stabbed al-Morobei 18 times. "She had no legal representation at any stage and did not have access to a consular representative during the police interrogation when she had made her 'confession'," Amnesty said. "According to reports, the police suspected that she suffered from mental illness at the time of the interrogation." – by Umberto Bacchi April 18, 2015 – International Business Times Indonesian woman beheaded in Saudi Arabia for
murder of 4-year-old girl Saudi Arabia has executed an Indonesian
domestic worker just days after beheading another woman from the country. Karni binti Medi Tarsim was convicted of murdering a four-year-old girl in 2012, according to a statement from the Indonesian foreign ministry. Officials say the 37-year-old stabbed a four-year-old boy to death in the city of Yanbu in 2012. The victim's family refused to have her sentence commuted as they are entitled to do under Islamic law – by Fiona Keating http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/indonesian-woman-beheaded-saudi-arabia-murder-4-year-old-girl-1497123 Anyway, all that is nothing new: 9.10.1995 – The Independent Secret Saudi executions shame the West Robert Fisk, Middle East Correspondent,
reveals a frenzy of beheadings in the first of a series on women victims of
Gulf 'justice' Amid a frenzy of executions in the Arab Gulf
states, at least 12 women have been put to death after Islamic trials, most
of them publicly beheaded by the sword in Saudi Arabia. The majority of the
executions were kept secret from all but spectators for fear of public
reaction in the West, and followed unfair hearings which often denied the
women a defence lawyer. Among the more shocking cases over the past
three years were a mother and her daughter who were decapitated together in
front of an audience of men in a Dhahran market last August for allegedly
killing the elder woman's husband. In most cases, the condemned women - who include not only Saudis but Filipina, Sri Lankan, Nigerian, Indonesian and Pakistani nationals - were taken from their prisons to be beheaded, without warning that they were about to meet their death. … The nature of the Islamic trials and the cruel methods of execution call into question the morality of the West's military and political support for Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states whose supposedly civilised values were defended by 500,000 US, British and other Western troops after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Not a single Western embassy, however, is known to have protested at the beheading of women - nor at the increasingly ferocious lashing of hundreds of foreign female workers in the Gulf for alleged misdemeanors. … Several of the executed women appear to have been deeply mentally disturbed when they committed their alleged crimes. Several were crimes of passion. – by Robert Fisk http://www.independent.co.uk/news/secret-saudi-executions-shame-the-west-1576699.html |
