A Pakistani man was executed Tuesday morning in the Saudi city of Medina after convicted of smuggling a large quantity of heroin in his stomach. The Interior Ministry revealed in a statement that the executed man was Hayat Sayed Lal Sayed. No further details were released about his age or when he was arrested. The ministry said the capital punishment was given to fight drug addiction and to respect the religious values, warning that others will get the same punishment if convicted for the same charge. Human rights organizations have been criticizing Saudi Arabia for death penalty cases, as courts here sentence capital punishment for murder, drug trafficking, rape, apostasy and armed robbery.
