A paralyzed teenager under his care passed away after his life-support device was accidentally dislodged. Under local laws, Rahim was held responsible and sentenced to death.<\/p>\n

For two decades, he remained in prison, facing execution.<\/p>\n

The 15 Million Riyal Ultimatum<\/strong>
\nIn early 2024, a final hope emerged. The victim\u2019s family agreed to pardon Rahim on one condition: payment of 15 million Saudi Riyals (about \u20b934 crore) as blood money (Diyyah).<\/p>\n

The deadline was approaching quickly. By April 2024, only \u20b913 crore had been raised, leaving a shortfall of \u20b921 crore.<\/p>\n
