Nope, not at all. This world is messed up so I'm used to hearing to these sort of news as a human being.

A man in Saudi Arabia has reportedly been sentenced to death on charges of apostasy after losing two appeals.

Several local media reports identified the man as Ahmad Al Shamri, in his 20s, from the town of Hafar al-Batin, who first came to the authorities attention in 2014 after allegedly uploading videos to social media in which he renounced Islam and the Prophet Mohammed.

He was arrested on charges of atheism and blasphemy and held in prison before being convicted by a local court and sentenced to death in February 2015.
At the time Mr Shamris defence entered an insanity plea, adding that his client was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of making the videos.

He reportedly lost an Appeals Court case, and a Supreme Court ruled against him earlier this week.
Under Saudi Arabias strict religious laws, leaving Islam can be punishable by harsh prison sentences and corporeal punishment - and a 2014 string of royal decrees under the late King Abdullah re-defined atheists as terrorists, according to a report by Human Rights Watch.

Last year, a citizen was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 2,000 lashes for expressing atheistic sentiment in hundreds of social media posts.
Mr Shamris name and hometown have trended on Arabic-speaking Twitter in the last few days. Some users have even celebrated his sentencing.

If you're a lowkey atheist that's fine. But once you talk in public & criticize God or religion, then you shall be punished, one such post read.
I wish there could be live streaming when you cut his head off, said another.

International human rights watchdogs have consistently condemned Saudi Arabias human rights record.

The Kingdom came under further scrutiny last week when it emerged it had been elected to the UNs womens rights commission.
Under the countrys system of guardianship, womens rights and freedom of movement is heavily restricted. They are not allowed to drive, and voted for the first time in 2015.

Electing Saudi Arabia to protect womens rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief, UN Watch Director Hillel Neuer said. Its absurd.
Saudi Arabia has sat on the UNs human rights council since September 2015.

This country is so backwards and unethical and just downright stupid, but there are absolutely no human rights violations going on here, nothing that would warrant international sanctions.
Just people being beheaded for what they choose to believe, convicting people of thought crime and exercising their free speech is perfectly fine.
In fact, this is so fine that they deserve to be on - and at one point head - the UN Human Rights council.

In Saudi Arabia, all atheists are deemed to be terrorists by the Government:

Saudi Arabia is the most prolific exporter of Wahhabi Islam, the type of fundamentalist Islam that ISIS believes. They set up Mosques all over the middle east and north Africa professing this extreme form of Islam. They are essentially radicalizing people under the auspices of just setting up religious institutions, and they are currently blockading Yemen which is starving 17 million people.

Don't worry though, there's a good reason why the west turns a blind eye to all of this and won't even sanction them. It rhymes with 'Boil.'
