Saudi Arabia executed five Saudi nationals convicted of terrorism-related offenses, including joining a foreign organization designated as terrorist, attacking security forces, and supporting attacks inside the kingdom, the country’s Interior Ministry announced Saturday.

According to the ministry, the individuals were convicted of offenses linked to terrorism and activities threatening Saudi Arabia’s security. Officials did not immediately disclose the name of the foreign organization involved or provide further details about the specific attacks connected to the cases.

The executions reflect the Saudi government’s continued use of capital punishment in cases involving terrorism and threats to state security. Saudi authorities have maintained strict laws targeting individuals accused of participating in terrorist organizations, assisting violent operations or attacking security personnel.

The announcement comes amid ongoing international scrutiny of Saudi Arabia’s use of the death penalty. Human rights organizations have repeatedly criticized the kingdom’s execution practices, while Saudi authorities maintain that capital punishment is used against individuals convicted of serious crimes under the country’s legal system.

The Interior Ministry did not provide additional information about the timing of the convictions or whether other individuals were connected to the cases.
