just watched this on BBC. pretty scary stuff from a stone age culture in a semi-modern city.
foreigners keep getting blown up in Saudi Arabia and other foreigners immediately show up convienently, for a full taped confession????... even when facing a death sentence... THEN there is absolutely no other forensic evidence supporting that they had anything to do with it... and its unnecessary because the "confessions" are enough
"A Briton and a Canadian have been sentenced to death, which usually takes the form of a public beheading. "
The arrest, and the refusal of the Saudi authorities to allow a visit from his lawyer, have ominous similarities to the case of five Britons currently awaiting a review of their convictions for bomb attacks which killed a British engineer and injured several other westerners. The first bomb went off two years ago today.
"Earlier this year a Guardian investigation found that the televised confessions from the men, which they later withdrew, had been extracted by torture. "
