Saudi Arabia advertises for eight new executioners

SAUDI Arabia is reportedly looking to recruit eight new executioners
as the nation experiences an "unprecedented spike" in judicial
killings, according to Amnesty International.

An advertisement for the positions was posted on the country's civil
service jobs website, stating that the role involves "executing a
judgement of death" but requires no specific qualifications.

Successful applicants would also reportedly have to perform
amputations on people convicted of less serious crimes.

Executions in Saudi Arabia have reportedly increased significantly
this year, with the Saudi Press Agency reporting 85 people have been
put to death since the beginning of 2015. A total of 88 people were
executed in 2014.

Amnesty International's Saudi Arabian researcher told The Independent
he believed the advertisement indicated authorities had no plans of
reducing their use of capital punishment.

"There's already been an unprecedented spike in executions in Saudi
Arabia this year - the recruitment of more executioners is a clear
sign that the authorities have no intention of rolling back this
execution spree any time soon," he said.

"The scores of people who go to their deaths in beheadings every year
in Saudi Arabia often do so after deeply unfair trials, including
after "confessions" extracted under torture."
