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

      But the progressive city of Jeddah! It’s progressive! Can’t you see how progressive Saudi Arabia is, they even let women and children be seen now!

      Don’t worry about a few headless people, just think about how progressive the city of Jeddah is!

      Yeah we still have horrible culture around gay rights and human rights, but THE PROGRESSIVE CITY OF JEDDAH!
