Saudi Arabia beheaded a convicted Syrian drug smuggler on Tuesday, bringing to 27 the number of executions in the kingdom this year.
Authorities carried out the sentence against Abdullah Mohammed al-Ahmad al-Anzi for trafficking amphetamine pills, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
He was executed in northwestern Jawf region.
The government says it is keen to combat narcotics due to their “great harm” but the kingdom has faced constant international criticism over its human rights record, including its use of the death penalty.

Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under the kingdom’s strict version of Islamic sharia law.
