Deera Square (Arabic: ساحة الديرة),[a] also known as Justice Square (Arabic: ميدان العدل) or Safa Square (Arabic: ساحة الصفاة)[2] is a public space in the ad-Dirah neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located adjacent to the al-Hukm Palace compound and Imam Turki bin Abdullah Grand Mosque in the Qasr al-Hukm District. It is known as the historic site of public executions, where those sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia are publicly beheaded.[3][4]

At unannounced times, Saudi security forces and other officials clear the area to make way for the execution to take place. After the beheading of the condemned, the head is stitched to the body, which is wrapped up and taken away for the final rites. It is a crime to record, with photos or videos, the executions, despite the number of attendees witnessing such public events.[5]

Saudi Arabia remains the only country with legal capital punishment by decapitation (beheading)[6] – in 2022, recorded executions in Saudi Arabia reached 196, the highest number recorded in the country in 30 years –, but beheading are no longer carried out in public, with no public executions having been recorded in the country in 2022,[7] after crescent international criticism and comparison between Saudi Arabia's and the Islamic State group's practices relating to public executions by decapitation.[8]

Publicity of the executions

In 2009, Canadian journalist Adam St. Patrick, who witnessed a public execution in the square, reported: "[T]he process is less overtly public now than it once was. Corpses aren’t hung for display in the square as often, and beheadings drew much bigger crowds when they were a regular event, held on Fridays after noon prayers. No formal event or fanfare begins or ends them now, and nothing indicates awareness or concern about how alien this is to outsiders."[9]

In 2015, it was reported that filming the public beheadings in Saudi Arabia had been forbidden. There was speculation that this was due to the international repercussion of public beheadings then carried out by the Islamic State, and the alleged "irony" of the fact that Saudi Arabia, being a key ally in the U.S.-led coalition against the group, carried out the same sort of "brutal" punishments as the militant group.[8]
