The recent executions reported by Arab officials come at the time of the condemnation of human rights in the Arab kingdom, as 81 people were sentenced to death in just one day last week.
Of the 100 executions, three of the times happened with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's visit to Riyadh, which lobbied for the establishment of the stability of markets after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Saturday, the execution of 81 people per day -- due to allegations of change, including the sentences related to terrorism- exceeded the number of 69 executions throughout 2021.
On the other hand, the human rights protection organisation, Human Rights Watch, said there is very little possibility that 81 men have faced fair judgment, calling it the brutal representation of autocratic leadership.
More than half of them belonged to the Muslim Shiit minority who have faced systematic discrimination and violence by the government, the New York-based rights group said.
Saudi Arabia said the men, including 7 Yemen and a Syrian, belonged either to Al-Qaeda Islamic group, to Yemeni's rebels, or to other terrorist organisations.
