Saudi Interior Ministry claimed the convicts were guilty of holding "deviant beliefs and pledging allegiance to foreign organizations," adding that three of the Yemenis were guilty of "forming a terrorist organization belonging to Al-Houthi," the Yemeni popular army forces that US President Joe Biden himself reversed the decision that deemed them a "terrorist" organization.
