Saudi advertises for swordsmen as execution rate soars
29 minutes ago
Riyadh (AFP) - Saudi Arabia advertised vacancies for eight executioners Tuesday after beheading nearly as many people since the start of the year as it did in the whole of 2014.
The civil service ministry said that no qualifications were necessary and that applicants would be exempted from the usual entrance exams.
It said that as well as beheadings, the successful candidates would be expected to carry out amputations ordered by the courts under the kingdom's strict version of Islamic sharia law.
Amputation of one or both hands is a routine penalty for theft. Drug trafficking, rape, murder, apostasy and armed robbery are all punishable by death.
Most executions are carried out by beheading, but a few are carried out by firing squad, stoning or crucifixion.
I saw something a couple of months ago which said that Saudi Arabia may have to start doing more executions by firing squad rather than beheading, because there's a general lack of swordsmen in the kingdom.

It's one way to get ahead in civil service work.

They don't seem to have a big gang or recidivism problem. Don't care for the apostasy one, but then I don't know how often that particular item actually gets enforced to the limit.

what are the minimum requirements needed to be considered for the job? How are you evaluated on your annual performance reviews? Health/Dental package, vacation and a 401k available?
