A record number of executions have been carried out in Saudi Arabia over the past year, according to a compilation by the AFP news agency.

340 people have been killed in the kingdom so far, after three people were executed on Monday, according to authorities.

The country thus breaks its own record for the second year in a row since human rights groups began documenting the executions in the 1990s.

In 2024, 338 people were executed, according to an AFP tally.
