I agree with the death sentence
but I however don't agree with this :/
About half of the 1,695 executed between 1985 and 2008 were foreign workers unable to pay the blood money that relatives of murder victims can demand in lieu of the death penalty, according to Amnesty.

On the surface, I have no issue with it. Start digging deeper into the Saudi Arabian justice system tho and you have to start wondering about the guilt or innocence of anyone caught up in it.
I have no use for scum like this guy, but the Saudi's are infamous for beating confessions out of suspects and the obvious lack of safeguards on the concept of innocent until proven guilty.
From what we see here, this guy was likely guilty, but hey, we only have the regime's word for it. My whole reluctance to embrace the death penalty is the possible corruption of any system, and we all know that the Saudi system is likely quite corrupt. If this guy had royal family connections, is he getting the treatment from the state in terms of being beheaded? I thought not...."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

So no...it isn't like the same Eki, but in your world of moral equivalence, I am sure you will disagree. Like I have said before, it is easy to have all the answers to the world's problems as a smug, socialist libreal in Finland."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".
