from November: Saudi Arabia is accused of beheading 12 people 'while global attention is focused on World Cup' as country backtracks on pledge not to use the death penalty for non-violent crimes

The spate of executions were punishments for drugs offences, though the country implemented a moratorium on the use of the death penalty for non-violent crimes in 2021. 

Meanwhile, the Saudi leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, attended Sunday's World Cup opening ceremony, sitting next to Fifa boss Gianni Infantino.
