Man Arrested at 17 in Saudi Arabia to Be Crucified
Quote:
Ali Mohammed al-Nimr was just 17 when he was arrested in 2012 and accused of taking part in anti-government protests and illegally possessing firearms; he was sentenced to death by crucifixion in 2014. Now, Saudi Arabia has dismissed his final appeal and he has no other legal options to fight the sentence, Middle East Monitor reports.
Activists say the younger al-Nimr was tortured, denied access to lawyers, and forced to sign a confession under duress; they claim there is no evidence of firearms offenses al-Nimr was charged with, and al-Nimr and his family deny all the charges against him. His trial did not meet international standards, and his appeal was held in secret without al-Nimr even knowing about it.
Can you imagine the terror of knowing you're going to be put to death by crucifixion? I can't even imagine what's going through this guy's head right now.

Well he can tell himself he'll die like Jesus. He'll probably never be as known though.
