Saudi Arabia is executing disabled people now; CNN

While horrific, this is nothing new.  A little less than 100 years ago, the UK executed by firing squad James Connolly, one of the leaders of the Easter Rising.  Having been badly wounded in both the fighting and the 'enhanced interrogation' that followed his arrest, Connolly (who likely would not have lived more than another day or two) was executed while tied to a chair because he was unable to stand.

I can't see how this is similar to executing 37 men in a single day without them commit any crime, and them insisting that their confessions are nothing more but the writings of interrogators, that tortured them brutally during their stay in prison, atop of that some of the tortured were handicapped.

There is no "justification" for the international silence over the crimes of the regime in Saudi Arabia; Boru. The international community showed its ugly face in front of Saudi cash; and sold its humanity and consciousness for a few dollars.

I didn't claim it was similar, just pointing out that executing disabled people is historic.  While I agree with you that the Saud family are little more than brutal thugs, they didn't invent brutality.  You seem to that think Saudi Arabia is the first country to execute the innocent and the disabled, that they are unique by employing torture and extracting false confessions.

I never hear you yammer about human rights abuses in sub-Saharan Africa, or China, or North Korea, or...well...everywhere else.  I get that you have a connection to Saudi Arabia, but you're coming off as rather indifferent to human suffering in general, unless it happens in YOUR country.
