Saudi Arabia: Senegalese woman could be executed in three months, Alioune Tine warns

Mbayang Diop, a Senegalese woman sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for murder, could be executed by the end of the year. She was arrested in June 2016 and sentenced in April 2017, but the sentence was not carried out because the victim's children were minors at the time. They will reach majority at the end of 2026, after which the victim's family can forgive or accept compensation, potentially leading to a commutation of her sentence. Alioune Tine urges action within three months to seek clemency from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
