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

Bengaluru, Mar 23: Karnataka government today decided to go for complete lockdown. This includes the closure of all non essential government offices, suspension of all public transport services and banning of mass prayers in places of worships across the state.

Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had expressed the need for a complete lockdown like the Janta Curfew on Sunday. Going by this, there will be no government transport services at least till March 31 and as many as 19,000 government buses will be off the road.

The government also decided to cancel the famous Karaga festival. The CM said that all celebrations and functions will be called off along with mass prayers in mosques and churches.

The CM said that they have decided to procure 1,000 ventilators and 10 lakh face masks in addition to other health equipments.

Private hospitals have come forward to spare their doctors and nursing staff to attend to Covid-19 patients in government hospitals, the CM said.

Yediyurappa also said that he has directed the health department to paste notification on the houses of residents who are infected with coronavirus. This is being done after people with indelible seals and home quarantined are reported to be roaming freely. The notifications will help neighbours to keep an eye on them.

The CM said the government-run Indira Canteen will serve free food to the poor until the lockdown continues. He also said that action will be initiated against non essential shops that are open despite a directive to shut down.
