Letter: Saudi justice
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: No Christian can condone murder - whether at the hands of individuals, or of a state under the banner of "justice". But those Westerners who decide - usually for financial benefits - to live in a country whose fundamental beliefs, and hence laws, are different from our own, must realise that they are thereby accepting such differences: an anachronistic imperial naivety that being supporters of another nation's ruling elite sets them above local laws and codes of ethics will inevitably end in tears.
