Saudi Arabia is one of the few countries that completely enforces ancient Islamic law in everyday life for its Citizens. Criminal cases are tried under Sharia courts in the country. These courts exercise authority over the entire population including foreigners (regardless of religion). Cases involving small penalties are tried in Shari'a summary courts. More serious crimes are adjudicated in Shari'a courts of common pleas. Courts of appeal handle appeals from Shari'a courts. Forms of punishment they enforce on those sentenced are public executions and amputations for such crimes as shop lifting. There is absolutely no tolerance for homosexuality, murder, adultery, and robbery. Saudi Arabia's laws are so cruel that they break many human rights violations everyday.
