Saudi Arabia has carried out its highest number of executions in over three decades after three executions announced Saturday took the 2024 figure to 198, according to an AFP tally.

The Gulf monarchy executed the third highest number of prisoners in the world after China and Iran in 2023, according to Amnesty International. This surpassed its previous highs of 196 in 2022 and 192 in 1995, said the London-based human rights group, which began recording the annual data in 1990.
