Human Rights Watch says Saudi Arabia executed five Ethiopians this week on drug-related charges after a trial that allegedly lacked due processADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- Five Ethiopians were executed in Saudi Arabia this week on drug-related charges following a trial that allegedly did not follow due process and lasted a few minutes without a translator, according to Human Rights Watch. It cited the European Saudi Organization for Human Rights, which said at least 116 people have been executed this year. Human Rights Watch said the five were charged with possessing hashish, a type of cannabis. “Saudi authorities are executing marginalized Ethiopian migrants after court hearings that sometimes barely last a few minutes without a lawyer or a translator,” said Joey Shea, senior Saudi Arabia researcher at Human Rights Watch. Kidane, 32, had stayed in Saudi Arabia for nine years, four of them behind bars.
