| Saudi Arabia: Public Beheading Possible for Australian held on Terror Charges |
| 2013-05-04 |
| This is crossing the red line by the Soddies. Don't they know he is a protected species, an aboriginal. The left will go into meltdown. An Australian national detained by the Saudi Arabian government 18 months ago continues to be held in a jail outside Riyadh. There is now concern 25-year-old Shayden Thorne, who has been charged with terrorism-related offences, may face the death penalty. Thorne was arrested in November 2011 after a laptop believed to belong to him was found to contain "terrorism-related material". Thorne's family say the laptop was borrowed from a mosque Ouch, that's a claim that would make a lot of sense, and get him off the hook in most western countries... but security forces claim it was recovered during a raid on a gathering of extremists. Bob Carr, the Australian Foreign Minister, has called for the incident to be settled quickly, and said "It's been going on for too long". The Saudis are willing to settle it quickly, I bet; beheadings can be scheduled seven days a week... Carr refused to comment on Thorne's innocence or guilt. "You are subject to the law of the country you are in. Shayden has chosen to live there for 12 years and the laws of Saudi Arabia apply to him or anyone else in his position," the 65-year-old Senator stressed. |
