The Saudi authorities beheaded the young detainee, Mustafa al-Darwish, who was handcuffed, then disposed of his body in an unknown location on charges of “breaking with the ruler.”

The Saudi Arabian authorities executed Tuesday Mustafa al-Darwish while he was handcuffed, and then they disposed of his body in an undisclosed location for "crimes" he committed as a minor, which include "participating in armed rebellion," and "sowing discord."

The Saudi authorities prevented the media from publishing "condolence groups" links for the martyr Mustafa al-Darwish, a resident of Tarout Island, Qatif.

The martyr was arrested as a minor because he participated in some of the popular movement activities in Qatif in 2015.

The "Nashet Qatifi" (activist from Qatif) account posted to Twitter, saying that the Presidency of State Security prevents the young man's family from opening a "WhatsApp group" to receive condolences and imposes complete silence on them under threat and intimidation.

It is currently accepted that funerals be held remotely instead of in person due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Commenting on this execution, the European Saudi Organization for Human Rights, ESOHR, tweeted saying, "A year ago, the Saudi government claimed to stop the execution of minors, but today it killed Mustafa al-Darwish, who faced charges including to when he was a minor."

It stressed that it is a flagrant violation of the laws, which provides a moratorium on executions of minors.
