Seven men have been executed in Saudi Arabia, officials say, despite appeals by UN experts and human rights groups.
Witnesses said they were shot by a firing squad in the southern city of Abha - not beheaded as is customary.
The men were sentenced to death in 2009 after being found guilty of organising a criminal group, armed robbery and breaking into jewellery shops.
