Saudi Arabia is preparing to behead and crucify the young Ali Al-Nimr in a particularly alarming context. The country has executed more than 134 people since the beginning of the year. However, Saudi Arabia has just been appointed head of an advisory group that provides expert for the Council of the United Nations Human Rights. "Saudi Arabia can not claim to be part of influential actors of human rights internationally while floating the most basic of human rights in his country," exclaimed Raphael Cheryl-Hazan. “While Saudi Arabia has taken office in the Council of Human Rights of the UN, the kingdom of justice has confirmed the death sentence of a Shiite militant. Ali Mohammed Baqir al-Nimr was sentenced to death on May 27, 2014. The crimes he "confessed" were committed when he was 17 years old. The sentence was upheld on appeal by the judges of the Special Criminal Court and the Supreme Court, according to his family, which has just been informed of these decisions. Ali faces execution when the king has ratified the sentence. Ali was convicted of participating in demonstrations against the government, attack against the security forces, possession of a machine gun and armed robbery.“ Amnesty International France.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Any judgment imposing the death penalty upon persons who were children at the time of the offense, and their execution, are incompatible with Saudi Arabia's international obligations," the U.N. Human Rights group said in a statement Tuesday, invoking the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which Saudi Arabia is a party.
