The Saudi government is possibly the worst in the entire Middle East to me. They're still a Monarchy, a system which should have died out years ago.

Corporal and Capital Punishment
Saudi Arabia is one of a number of countries where courts continue to impose corporal punishment, including amputations of hands and feet for robbery, and floggings for lesser crimes such as "sexual deviance" and drunkenness. The number of lashes is not clearly prescribed by law and varied according to the discretion of judges, and range from dozens of lashes to several thousand, usually applied over a period of weeks or months. Saudi Arabia also still engages in capital punishment, including public executions by beheading, stoning and crucifixion.

In 2002, the United Nations Committee against Torture criticised Saudi Arabia over the amputations and floggings it carries out under its interpretation of Sharia. The Saudi delegation responded defending "legal traditions" held since the inception of Islam 1400 years ago and rejected interference in its legal system.

Women's Rights
By western standards Saudi women face severe discrimination in many aspects of their lives, including the family, education, employment, and the justice system. It is one of the worst countries in the world for equality of the sexes. Religious police enforces a modesty code of dress and institutions from schools to ministries are gender-segregated.
