Paedophile rapist to be beheaded and crucified in Saudi Arabia
A man who kidnapped and raped five children, one of whom was left in the desert to die, has been sentenced to be beheaded and his body publicly crucified.
Muhammed Basheer al-Ramaly, 22, from the northern city of Hail, in Saudi Arabia, will be executed at noon today.
He will be beheaded by sword then his body tied to a wooden cross and his head stuck on a pole as a deterrent.
Al-Ramaly was found guilty in February of abducting and raping five boys, the eldest of whom was 7 and the youngest just 3, who he left out in the desert to die.
His modus operandi was to pick up the boys in his car and take them off to a secret location and rape them. Most of them were found a day or two after they were abducted, and told police that they had been abused.
Saudi reports said that police used one of the survivors, a seven-year-old boy, to scour the area where he was molested, looking for the suspect's vehicle.
Al-Ramaly allegedly confessed to the crime and was sentenced to death by a court in Hail, but appealed to a higher court in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
That court yesterday upheld the sentence and ordered his immediate execution. While Saudi Arabia carries out numerous beheadings -- 102 last year, according to Amnesty International - crucifixions are relatively rare. The last one appears to have been in May, when the headless body of a sex murderer was displayed in the capital.
Amnesty said there were reports that al-Ramaly may have been suffering from a psychological disorder.
One Saudi web forum claimed that police had been surprised when he laughed as he confessed to the rapes and murder.
Saudi Arabia has come under fire from human rights groups in the past for its high number of executions.
About half of the 1,695 executed between 1985 and 2008 were foreign workers unable to pay the blood money that relatives of murder victims can demand in lieu of the death penalty, according to Amnesty.

Sometimes i like this style of punishment in the middle eastern countries,For people like that this is the perfect punishment.

Agreed,There are some things like this one that are just proper. It was probably a disorder, but after the punishment who cares.

way better than having them in jails and costing tax payers lots of money to keep them alive ans well fed.

Oh please, capital punishment isn't a deterant, it's just bloody bronze-age vengance, not justice.

doens't it cost more to keep an inmate on death-row and execute him than it does to throw him in general population where he's most likley to get shanked, instead?
Posted Nov-4-2009 by "Entinlude" (R)
correct... but you say that like it is a bad thing.

so cut out the appeal process and the execution costs less. and let's not be so hypocritical to turn a blind eye to "shanking" ... let's at least do it ourselves.
the best argument against capital punishment remains the "if we put an innocent person to death then we all become murderers and subject to the death penalty ourselves" argument. But we usually allow for "accidents" when deciding whether to put someone to death or not.
just something to think about as i know you are a reasonable fellow.

Yeah, because raping 5 children and killing one makes you just another 'innocent' person put to death.

i'm being real, they don't put them in general population, i'm my way of thinking, execute them right after finding them guilty, on the spot.

our country would do well to take a q from that one.
Posted Nov-4-2009 by "Minime0Yeah" (R)
I have no problem with this. We should do the same in this country. Giving them 3 hot and a cot sure has not worked.
