Wanted: 8 New Executioners In Saudi Arabia That Has Already Beheaded 85 This Year

If you're looking for a job, then try executing heads, for which you will undoubtedly get handsome perks from oil rich Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is hiring eight new executioners, as there has been a huge rise in the killings---they rose to 85 in just five months in 2015, under the new King Salman. Last year, there were 90 executions.

For this job you don't really need any special skills, except a strong hand----and heart, and eyes.

You need to behead condemned criminals in open public and also amputate those who've committed the lesser crimes of stealing, according to Reuters.

They would be 'religious functionaries', as they would be servicers of religious courts and on the "lower end of the civil service pay scale," said the ad, according to rt.

The recruitment drive comes a day after Saudi Arabia executed the 85th person this year. The number reached in less than five months is compared to an estimated 90 executions over the whole of 2014, according to Amnesty International.

The Islamic kingdom ranks among the top five countries for executing people. It is third in the list after China and Iran, and ahead of Iraq and the United States, says Amnesty International figures, according to theguardian.

 Some additional judges have been appointed and have managed to deal with a backlog of a number of appeal cases.

Usually, criminals are publicly beheaded in Saudi Arabia, where a few cases could even be through stoning or firing squads. The crimes could either be violent ones, such as murder and rape, or blasphemy, adultery, drugs, witchcraft and sorcery.

While half the executed persons In Saudi Arabia are Saudi nationals, the others could be from Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Jordan, India, Indonesia, Burma, Chad, Eritrea the Philippines and Sudan, according to Human Rights Watch.
