Amnesty International excoriated Saudi Arabia today for a justice system that it says is steeped in secrecy, torture and other human rights abuses. The rights group was equally unstinting in its criticism of the international community, which it said had turned a blind eye to abuses in the conservative oil-rich kingdom. Saudi Arabia enforces strict Islamic sharia law, executing rapists, murderers and drug smugglers, usually by public beheading. Other punishments include amputation and flogging. Amnesty said Saudi Arabia has one of the highest execution rates in the world, both in absolute number and per capita terms, and fails to live up to rights treaties it has signed.
