And, the vile House of Saud strikes again...Amnesty says: 'basic lack of humanity'

Saudi Arabia condemned for beheading 'mentally ill' migrant worker who killed her employer... which campaigners say was an act of self defence

* Siti Zainab was executed in holy city of Medina after 15 years on death row

* Sentenced to death for stabbing to death an employer who 'mistreated her'

* Indonesia is furious its officials and her family weren't notified beforehand

* Amnesty International says the beheading shows a 'basic lack of humanity'



'Imposing the death penalty and executing someone with a suspected mental illness smacks of a basic lack of humanity,' according to Amnestry International's Middle East and North Africa Programme Director.

So far in 2015, Saudi Arabia has executed at least 60 people, most of them by beheading which compares to 90 executions in the entirety of 2014.
