Seven men who robbed a jewellery shop have been sentenced to death by firing squad and crucifixion in Saudi Arabia.
They were due to be killed today but Saudi Arabia's royal family postponed the executions for week after an outcry from human rights groups.
Sarhan al-Mashayekh was one of seven men whose death sentences were confirmed by King Abdullah on Saturday.
It was decided that he would crucified for three days and the six other men were to face firing squads.
Earlier today one of the men sentenced to death appealed for help.
Speaking from Abha General prison yesterday Nasser al-Qahtani said that he was arrested as part of 23-member ring that stole from jewellery stores in 2004 and 2005.
