Saudi Arabia executed 340 people in 2025, mostly for drugs, sparking global criticism over human rights and due process.
Saudi Arabia executed 340 people in 2025, the highest number on record, according to an AFP tally, driven largely by a crackdown on drugs that has led to 232 executions for drug-related offenses.
Most of those executed were foreign nationals, drawing criticism from human rights groups who say the use of the death penalty for drug crimes violates international standards.
The executions, carried out by beheading or firing squad, occur amid ongoing concerns about due process and transparency, despite the government’s claim that all cases follow legal procedures.
The kingdom remains among the world’s top three executioners, behind China and Iran.
