- 'His death has killed a part of me': The Ethiopians awaiting execution in Saudi Arabia
Ethiopian nationals on death row in Saudi Arabia's Khamis Mushait detention center face execution for drug-related offenses, including possession of khat. Three Tigrayans were executed in April 2026 after being arrested for carrying khat, which is illegal in Saudi Arabia. Prisoners reported forced confessions, signing Arabic documents without understanding them, and witnessing executions.
