Summary
Roshdi bin Abdullah Altway, a prisoner awaiting capital punishment whose execution was scheduled for 10 April 2025, filed two applications on the eve of his execution seeking permission to bring post-appeal applications and a stay of execution. He relied on grounds including needing more time for a second clemency petition and complaints against his former counsel.
