Saudi crucifixion slammed by MP

The crucifixion of a Saudi national, who was among 37 men executed in one day, has been condemned by a Foreign Office minister.

Sir Alan Duncan moved to denounce the Saudi government, in response to an urgent question from Lib Dems leader Sir Vince Cable asking what representations the government has made to the Saudis about the executions. Saudi Arabia executed 37 people for “terrorism-related crimes”, according to the country’s interior ministry.
