"The centre describes itself as 'leading the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's humanitarian role in serving people & communities in 113 countries across the world'. Romano talks about various projects, and says it 'reflects the leading humanitarian role of Saudi Arabia'."
"A report from the European Saudi Organisation for Human Rights (ESOHR) in January claimed the country, led by de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, carried out 347 executions in 2025, marking a new high for the nation, after a record-breaking 345 executions in 2024."
"The ESOHR add that the majority (79%) of executions in 2025 were for crimes failing to meet the international legal threshold of a 'most serious crime' and predominately included executions for drug-related charges (69% of all executions)."
Fabrizio Romano, known for breaking major transfer news, posted a video highlighting the King Salman Humanitarian Aid & Relief Centre's work across 113 countries. The video describes Saudi Arabia's humanitarian role positively. However, this conflicts sharply with human rights reports from the European Saudi Organisation for Human Rights documenting 347 executions in 2025, a record high. The majority of these executions were for crimes not meeting international legal standards for capital punishment, with 69% being drug-related charges. Romano's video represents another example of sportswashing, as Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund heavily invests in global sports, including stakes in multiple Pro League clubs.
