Saudi arabia stays executions of 7 men

Saudi Arabia on Tuesday postponed the scheduled executions of seven Saudis, a local official told AFP, as rights groups said the men were condemned for crimes committed when they were minors. The official did not say when the executions, in the southern region of Aseer, would now be carried out.
‘Following a request by Aseer governor Faisal bin Khaled al-Saud, it has been decided to postpone the executions to improve preparations.’
