Tuesday, 18 January 2022 (YJC)_ The bodies of the opposition, who have been executed by Al Saud for years, have not yet been returned to their families, and some have been buried in an unknown location.

Human Rights Organization: The Saudi government has taken the bodies of those executed hostageIn a report, the Saudi-European Organization for Human Rights reported a gross violation of the rights of dissidents and dissidents, saying that in addition to executing dissidents, the Saudi government would not return their bodies to their families.

The report said the move was a clear violation of international law and custom, and a form of torture against the families of those executed, as evidence of the Saudi government's insistence on continuing its past policies and continuing to take revenge on their families.

The Saudi Riyadh website also reported that the Riyadh government executed 47 people, including Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr, in January 2016, claiming that they had been punished for terrorist acts. But six years after their execution, their bodies have not yet been returned to their families or buried in an undisclosed location.

In July 2017, four young people from Qatif were executed for participating in demonstrations. In April 2019, 37 people were executed, some of them for political crimes. Last year, a number of others were executed, including Mustafa al-Darwish, who was in custody as a child.

According to the European-Saudi Human Rights Organization, the bodies of 91 executed people have not been returned to their families. The bodies of 44 people killed during the shootings between 2016 and 2021 are also being held hostage by Saudi security agencies.
