WEB DESK: Two Pakistani citizens have been executed in Makkah on charges of drug smuggling, as confirmed by authorities.
The individuals were apprehended by Saudi officials for alleged involvement in drug trafficking activities. Following their arrest, they were tried, found guilty, and received the death penalty, which was subsequently carried out.
In Saudi Arabia, drug trafficking is treated as a severe offense with stringent penalties, including death, lengthy prison sentences, or rigorous imprisonment. The government frequently conducts crackdowns against networks involved in such illicit activities to combat this issue.
Senior officials emphasized that drug trafficking poses a significant risk to Saudi Arabia’s social fabric and economic stability. The legal framework in the country for addressing such crimes remains uncompromising to deter these threats.
