All are equal before the law: Saudi Arabia executes PRINCE for murder

October 19, 2016

Riyadh, Oct 19: A Saudi prince was executed in Riyadh on Tuesday after a court found him guilty of shooting dead a fellow Saudi national, official media reported, in a rare example of a ruling family member subjected to the death penalty in the modern world.

lawPrince Turki bin Saud al-Kabir had pleaded guilty to shooting Adel al-Mohaimeed after a brawl, the Ministry of Interior said in a statement on state news agency SPA.

Members of Saudi Arabia's ruling family have global reputation. The last prominent case of a royal family member's execution was that of Faisal bin Musaid al-Saud, who assassinated his uncle, King Fasial, in 1975.

A list made by a western news agency says that the prince is the 134th individual to be executed this year. The Interior ministry said that it would ensure to everyone that the government was "keen to keep order, stabilize security and bring about justice through implementing the rules prescribed by Allah".

The victim's family denied offers of 'blood money' and demanded justice instead.

On social media, some Saudis said that they never imagined such a thing would happen while others said it indicated the quality of their justice system.

A prominent Saudi lawyer tweeted saying, "The greatest thing is that the citizen sees the law applied to everyone, and that there are not big people and other small people."

The royal family is estimated to be in the thousands. While they receive a monthly stipend, not all of them hold important government posts.

“The government.. is keen to keep order, stabilise security and bring about justice through implementing the rules prescribed by Allah...,” said the ministry statement.

Sharia Law is divine law and no one can change it..
if some one implement it, there will be no injustice to the people of the world...
But the people who doesnt want the public to implement cos if they know then the rulers will face problems '
Thats Y the haters and the one who wants to rule over the people will alwz portray sharia law as evil...
If people learn individuallly, You will know the reality of the people who are in power

Mumbai, Jun 14: Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on Sunday, leaving all his fans and the industry in shock. While the reason behind him taking up the extreme step is still not clear, a look into Sushant’s social media feed suggests that things were not well for him for quite some time.

Sushant had been inactive on Twitter since months. His last tweet was on December 27, 2019. Since then, he did not even reply to any one on Twitter. Same is the case with his Facebook account as the last post on his timeline was on the same date. Interestingly, Sushant's Twitter cover picture is the popular painting - 'Starry Night', by Van Gogh, who had also reportedly committed suicide in 1890.

On Instagram, the young actor had last posted on June 3. It was a collage picture of him and his mother along with a cryptic caption that read, “Blurred past evaporating from teardrops Unending dreams carving an arc of smile And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two...#माँ”.

Was Sushant’s inactivity on Twitter, Facebook and his last cryptic post on Instagram a signal that the actor was having a tough time? Well, may be it will remain a mystery forever.
