At least 175 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia in the past year after unfair trials lacking basic safeguards, Amnesty International says.

A new report alleges the Gulf kingdom's "faulty justice system facilitates judicial executions on a mass scale".

In many cases, it adds, defendants are denied access to a lawyer and in some they are convicted on the basis of "confessions" obtained under torture.

Those killed include juvenile offenders and people with mental disabilities.

Amnesty's report says that between January 1985 and June 2015, at least 2,208 people were executed in Saudi Arabia.

Almost half of those put to death were foreign nationals, many of whom the human rights group says were denied adequate translation assistance at trial and were made to sign documents - including confessions - which they did not understand.

And all of those foreigh nations are probably poor workers from South East Asia, Africa or India/Bangladesh/Nepal who work in KSA as maids or similar. Of course since they are poor and irrelevant they are dispensable. Nobody is gonna fight for these poor folks.

I'd rather sell khat in Ethiopia for peanuts than live in that hell hole for those uncivilised savages.

Its less costly than deportation, that's what I think they're up to. They are the most racist, xenophobic regime in the world.
