A young man who had been set to attend Western Michigan University prior to his arrest in 2012 was among the 37 people beheaded in Saudi Arabia Tuesday in the largest mass execution in the country in three years.

Mujtaba Nader Abdullah al-Sweikt (also spelled as al-Sweikat) had been accepted as a student at Western Michigan University in 2012, the university confirmed to media outlets. But later that year, Sweikt was arrested by Saudi officials at King Fahd International Airport when he was on his way to the US to begin his studies at the college, according to Reprieve, a human rights group that focuses on the death penalty.

He was just 17 years old at the time of his arrest. Sweikt had reportedly attended a pro-democracy rally during the Arab Spring, which led to his arrest, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Sweikt was "severely beaten all over his body, including the soles of his feet," according to Reprieve. The organization said he was convicted "on the basis of a confession extracted through torture."

4. Yip, Kushner, with his ill gotten security clearance,

turned over the names of Saudis who might be a problem for a murderous dictator.

I hope I don't get in trouble for bashing MBS.

2. The House of Saud likes their subjects to be compliant...

Sweikt was "severely beaten all over his body, including the soles of his feet," according to Reprieve. The organization said he was convicted "on the basis of a confession extracted through torture."

I wonder if jar-jar* had anything to do with this killing?

5. How long do we support this?

From the days of "Bandar Bush" through the 9/11 hijackers through Khashoggi murder to the women in prison for promoting the right to drive (where are the-have they been killed/) to torture and execution for attending a rally.

Saudi Arabia is not a civilized country.

What could possibly go wrong there.

10. The moral depravity of the Saud Family is legendary

11. That's so heartbreaking

He was just a kid—how terrifying the arrest must have been to him, let alone everything else that happened afterwards, just as he was thinking that the rest of his life was about to open up to him.

12. OMG. How horrible.

The Bush family is friends with Saudi Arabia leaders, too. Money.
