Saudi Arabia Executes Man and Woman for Immoral Act in Mecca

Makkah (Caasimada Online) – The Saudi Arabian government has executed a man and a woman from Bangladesh, after a court found them guilty of a moral crime committed in a mosque located in the holy city of Makkah.

The Saudi Ministry of Interior stated that the two individuals, named Nasrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti Akhtar, were executed on Wednesday, October 14, after the judicial process in their case was completed.

According to a statement released by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), security forces apprehended the two individuals, and after an investigation, they were referred to court, which found them guilty of the charges.

The court sentenced them to death by a method known as Tazir, which is a punishment determined by the judge based on Islamic law and the severity of the crime.

The ministry stated that the death sentence was based on the danger posed by the actions of the two individuals and how it contradicts the sanctity of the mosque and the timing of the incident.

The sentence was carried out after being approved by the judicial authorities with the power to do so, and a royal decree was issued for its execution.

However, the Saudi government did not disclose the official details of the actions committed by the two individuals, the mosque where it occurred, and the time of their arrest.

On the other hand, the Bangladeshi consulate in Jeddah stated that it was not previously informed of the execution of its citizens, and it has requested official confirmation from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the incident.

The Saudi Ministry of Interior has emphasized in its statement that the government is committed to maintaining security, implementing justice, and preserving the sanctity of mosques.

It also warned that anyone who commits such acts will face severe punishment in accordance with the laws and regulations in force in the kingdom.
