Saudi Arabia confirmed the execution of two of its nationals. The executions took place in the Makkah region on Monday, August 4, 2025 (10 Safar 1447 AH). The Ministry of Interior Saudi Arabia convicted the men of joining a terrorist organization and manufacturing explosives intended for attacks within the Kingdom.
The two men had planned to cause trouble in public and attack important buildings. Officials said what they did was a direct threat to the safety of the people and the security of the country.
The Ministry of Interior Saudi Arabia said that both men had a fair trial according to the law in that country. The Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal both agreed with the decisions. Later, a royal order approved the death sentences.
The ministry’s official statement reaffirmed the Kingdom’s commitment to fighting terrorism and protecting its people. It also said that it will keep going after anyone who puts public safety at risk or weakens national security.
The case drew significant attention as Saudi Arabia continues to enforce strict measures against terrorism. People who are found guilty of planning or carrying out terror-related crimes face harsh punishments, such as the death penalty.
International View on Justice and Fair Trials
Under international law, particularly the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The use of the death penalty is not outright banned but is limited to the “most serious crimes”. And it must follow a fair trial process. Human rights organizations often emphasize transparency and insist that authorities use capital punishment only when absolutely necessary and with full legal safeguards.
The executions show how hard the country is working to keep things stable and stop future threats.
The Ministry of Interior Saudi Arabia assured the public that it had served justice through proper legal procedures and urged citizens to work with the government to keep the Kingdom safe.
