Is this what progress looks like in Saudi Arabia? The kingdom is considering ending execution by beheading in favor of firing squads,
reports the Egyptian English-language news website Ahram Online
. A committee consisting of representatives from the Ministries of Interior, Justice and Health says there are shortages in government swordsmen and argue that a change to execution by firing squad would not violate Islamic law, the Saudi daily newspaper a
l-Youm writes. According to an official statement from the committee, “This solution seems practical, especially in light of shortages in official swordsmen or their belated arrival to execution yards in some incidents.”
