Saudi Arabia behead Sri Lankans by the sword

Four Sri Lankans convicted of armed robbery were beheaded by the sword in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh on Monday, the interior ministry said.
Victor Korea, Ranjith De Silva, Santhosh Kumar and Sharmila Sangeeth Kumar were executed for robbing a number of businesses at gunpoint, the ministry said in a statement published by the official SPA news agency.
The beheadings bring to 15 the number of executions announced by the Saudi government so far this year.
For the whole of 2006, at least 37 people were executed, while 83 were put to death in 2005 and 35 the year before, according to AFP tallies based on official statements.
Executions are usually carried out in public in ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia, which applies a strict form of sharia, or Islamic law.
Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking can all carry the death penalty.

What's going on?
Death and Sri Lankans are becoming very much like magnet and iron, maybe vice versa.
Maybe Sri Lankans should check their horoscopes before go abroad from now on.

| How come this is not a human rights violation while temporary white van abductions (which are common in saudi) are called human rights violations in sri lanka? |

| See, Sinhalas are rascals and thugs. Even a loony state like Saudi whips their butt LOL. They should have castrated these sinhala mongrels before beheading them. |

| Here we go with the rascist card again..... check your history, many Sri Lankan muslims and tamils were executed too. The point hgere is 4 sri Lankans, regardless of ethnicity. But looking closely one would wonder if two of them are tamils....Santhosh Kumar and Sharmila Sangeeth Kumar |

| If any Tamil has involved in this activity, Sinhala patriots (pathetic!) would label them as LTTErs! |

| Sritharan, nobody has yet accused the executed to be LTTErs. Perhaps you are suggesting that now.... |

Ludacris,

I think they whipped tamil butts too. Santhosh Kumar and Sharmila Sangeeth Kumar are not sinhala names. Dont jump without reading first. |

Srilankan soldies who robe tamils for years thought soudi is the same.
looks like they paid heavy price.
what punishment to be given to mahinda?
robing public money ' helping hambatoda'
then he robed all tamils bank account overnight.
( any money in the bank for over 10 years is his )
its billions of tamils money he sole.
he should be beheaded?
i think i should create one of the poll and asked public to vote. |
