Saudi Arabia has executed many political dissenters, most recently and famously the gruesome killing of the political dissident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Religious scholars say that open dissent is sedition and they encourage “advice” to the ruler instead. Does this contempt for public dissent has a foundation in Islamic law?
