Saudi Arabia ends the death penalty for minors

| Say No To the death Penalty |
JEDDAH - Saudi Arabia has finished capital punishment for wrongdoings submitted by minors, reports nation's media on Sunday.
The new changes have been presented after the extraordinary weights of the human rights bodies against minors' execution. This law underscores a push by accepted ruler Crown Prince Mohammed receptacle Salman to modernize the ultra-preservationist realm.
Capital punishment has been disposed of for those indicted for wrongdoings submitted while they were minors, Human Rights Commission president Awwad Alawwad said in an announcement, referring to a regal declaration.
Rather, the individual will get a jail sentence of no longer than 10 years in an adolescent detainment office, the announcement said.
The pronouncement is relied upon to save the lives of at any rate six men who are waiting for capital punishment.
They were blamed for participating in government fights during the Arab Spring uprisings while they were younger than 18.
