Saudi authorities have executed Jalal bin Hassan bin Abdul Karim Labbad, a Saudi national convicted of terrorism-related offenses, despite appeals from international rights groups. Labbad was found guilty of joining a foreign terrorist organization, killing a judge, and attempting to kill security forces with explosives in the Eastern Province. His case drew criticism because he was reportedly convicted for crimes committed as a minor, and several organizations, including Amnesty International and United Nations experts, had called for his release. Saudi Arabia continues to face scrutiny over its use of the death penalty, particularly in cases involving individuals sentenced for offenses committed under the age of eighteen.
