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.

Alioune Tine urges action within three months to seek clemency from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
