Saudi Arabian Woman Screams Her Innocence Before Being Beheaded For Murder

A woman beheaded in a Saudi street for killing her husband's six-year-old daughter screamed her innocence in a graphic footage of the execution uploaded to the Internet. According to Reporter, an executioner in Mecca, the holy city, took two swings to hack off Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim's head, after she was found guilty of beating the girl and molesting her with a broomstick.

 The incident has sparked outrage in the country, but not because of the brutal punishment meted out. Saudis are up in arms that the execution was filmed and posted online, where the woman's family might see it. Now Saudi authorities have arrested someone for filming the execution, local media reports. But it was not clear what crime he has been arrested for.

Many Twitter users protested the video being circulated on the internet because it could be seen by the woman’s family, but did not object to the beheading itself. Bassim was one of 10 people beheaded In Saudi Arabia so far this year.
Saudi Arabia executed 87 people last year, up from 78 in 2013. The kingdom had the third-highest number of recorded executions in 2013, behind Iran and Iraq, Amnesty International says. The official Saudi Press Agency said last week that Bassim's execution came after she was found guilty of the rape and murder of Kalthoum bint Abdul Rahman bin Ghulam Gadir, her husband's daughter.
'Investigations led to her trial which proved she was guilty,' the interior ministry was quoted by SPA as saying.
 A United Nations special rapporteur has said trials leading to the death penalty in Saudi Arabia are 'grossly unfair'. Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are punishable by death in the oil-rich Gulf state.

          I said it yesterday under the thread of Nigerian man that was executed in Indonesia that if anyone ever wondered why the planes of these Sharia countries keep falling off the sky, the answer is simply because these countries get a lot of blood in their hands. They shed blood weekly for minor offenses. I will be scared to board the planes of any of these countries as from henceforth because the era of revenge is here as God is not sleeping and lives of innocent can be affected in the process. It was Malaysia and Indonesia that were affected in the last two, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, etc may be next.Who knows, it might be earthquake, disease  outbreak etc.
