Saudi Arabia recently executed seven people, five of them for drug trafficking, reported the official Saudi news agency SPA. Since the beginning of the year, 236 people have been executed in this country, according to an AFP report based on official statements by the authorities.

Four of the men, all originally from Yemen, were executed in Asir for "illegal importation of hashish" into the country, the Interior Ministry said. A Pakistani was also executed for drug trafficking.

Saudi Arabia is a major market for captagon, a type of methamphetamine produced in Syria and Lebanon. In recent months, authorities have carried out several operations to identify traffickers and arrest them. Executions have also been increasing since the moratorium on the offense expired two years ago.

The Interior Ministry also said two Saudis convicted of murder were executed.

Saudi Arabia is the country with the most executions of prisoners in 2023, after China and Iran, according to Amnesty International. The implementation of the death penalty has been repeatedly criticized by human rights groups, who consider it excessive and incompatible with Riyadh's efforts to present a modern, reformist image abroad.

But Saudi Arabia says the death penalty is necessary "to maintain public order" and is applied only after defendants have exhausted all legal remedies.
