Egypt’s highest court has recognised that Ahmed Saddouma, sentenced to death in a mass trial in 2018, was a child at the time of his alleged offences. His sentence has accordingly been commuted to 15 years imprisonment.

In President Abdelfattah el-Sisi’s first five years in power, his regime handed preliminary death sentences to more than 2,400 people, a Reprieve report reveals.

Saudi Arabia’s official press agency has announced a mass execution of 37 people. Most, if not all, were convicted in the Specialised Criminal Court (SCC), the Kingdom’s secretive and widely condemned anti-terrorism tribunal.

Four juvenile offenders have been executed in Iran since the beginning of 2018.
