Saudi Arabia has executed over 100 foreigners – so far this year, according to a compilation made by the news agency AFP.

Two Ethiopian citizens were executed on Thursday after being sentenced to death for smuggling hash.

A total of 189 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia this year. 101 of them are citizens of another country and 88 are Saudi citizens.
