Fear of outing leads to murder
Advocate, The, April 26, 2005
Being gay is illegal in Saudi Arabia, but it won't get you beheaded. Killing someone because you're scared they might out you will.
Two Sandi men were executed on March 13 for killing a Pakistani man who saw them in a "shameful situation," the Saudi Interior Ministry said in a state merit issued by the official Saudi Press Agency. In Saudi Arabia gay sex acts, often described as "shameful," are punishable by flogging or imprisonment. Murder is punishable by death--a beheading carded out with a sword in public.
Ahmed bin Shenayen bin Dhiya al-Inizi and Shaher bin Waqaaf bin Qayidh al-Ruwaily were convicted of brutally murdering Malek Zade Khan in the northern town of Arar because they feared a scandal after Khan saw them having sex.
