Crimes Punishable by Death in Saudi Arabia

Drug Smuggling
Both the carrier and the receiver and distributor of drugs or narcotics are considered to be smugglers according to the law of the Kingdom. The penalty in smuggling drugs could go up to a death penalty depending on the conditions of the person and the situation.

 

Homosexual relations
Homosexuality is a crime in countries like Saudi Arabia and it is punished as such. For man-to-man relationships, the penalties would be the same as with Zina considering that both of them had a sexual relationship. For woman-to-woman relationship, the punishment is in the hands of the judge.

Conversion 
Converting to any non-Muslim religion is a crime and is fit for a death penalty in Saudi Arabia.
