Saudis beheaded for murdering witness to 'shameful' acts
Two Saudi men were executed today for killing a Pakistani man who saw them in a “shameful situation”, the Saudi Interior Ministry said in a statement.
The phrase “shameful situation” is used to refer to homosexual acts, seen as a sin against Islam and prohibited in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim nations. In Saudi Arabia, homosexual acts can be punished by flogging or prison terms.
