I don't get the part about the crucifixion for 3 days. Does that mean he would be taken down after if still alive or they would use science to ensure that he is dead by the third day?

Seven men who robbed a jewellery shop have been sentenced to death by firing squad and crucifixion.
They were due to be killed today but Saudi Arabia's royal family postponed the executions for week after an outcry from human rights groups.
Sarhan al-Mashayekh was one of seven men whose death sentences were confirmed by King Abdullah on Saturday.
It was decided that he would crucified for three days and the six other men were to face firing squads.

Earlier today one of the men sentenced to death appealed for help.
Speaking from Abha General prison yesterday Nasser al-Qahtani said that he was arrested as part of 23-member ring that stole from jewellery stores in 2004 and 2005.
He said they were tortured to confess and had no access to lawyers.
'I killed no one. I didn't have weapons while robbing the store, but the police tortured me, beat me up and threatened to assault my mother to extract confessions that I had a weapon with me,' he said.
'We don't deserve death.'

A leading human rights group added its appeal to Saudi authorities to stop the executions.
Al-Qahtani, said he and the most of the ring were juveniles at the time of the thefts.
They were arrested in 2006. The seven received death sentences in 2009, the Saudi newspaper Okaz reported then.
Last Saturday, he said, Saudi King Abdullah ratified the death sentences and sent them to Abha.
Authorities set today for the executions. They also determined the methods.
Al-Qahtani faced a judge three times during eight years in detention.
He said that the judge didn't assign a lawyer to defend them and didn't listen to complains of torture.
'We showed him the marks of torture and beating, but he didn't listen,' he said. 'I am talking to you now and my relatives are telling me that the soil is prepared for our executions tomorrow,' he said, referring to the place where he will be standing to be fired at.
Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islamic Shariah law under which people convicted of murder, rape or armed robbery can be executed, usually by sword.
Several people were reported crucified in Saudi Arabia last year.
Human rights groups have condemned crucifixions in the past, including cases in which people are beheaded and then crucified.
In 2009, Amnesty International condemned such an execution as 'the ultimate form of cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.'
Abha is located deep in the southwestern province of Asir. Southerners face systematic discrimination, and people there are perceived as second class citizens compared to those in the most powerful central region, where the capital and Saudi Arabia's holy shrines of Mecca and Medina are located.
Political analyst Mohammed al-Qahtani said the central region gets the best services and treatment.
'The verdict is very harsh, given all the circumstances of detention and trial with no access to lawyers, but part of the problem is selectivity,' he said.
'If one person belonged to political heavyweight regions, the verdict wouldn't have been harsh,' he added. 'The south is marginalized,' he said.
He said that no minister in Saudi government, current or past, came from the south.
He said he was born in the south, did not know the family of the man who talked to the AP but is familiar with the case.
The Washington-based Institute of Gulf Affairs, which is campaigning for suspension of the executions of the seven men, said in a statement addressed to the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights, 'among the reasons for the execution is that they hail from the south, a region that is heavily marginalized by the Saudi monarchy, which views them as lower class citizens.'
Ali Al-Ahmed, the head of the institute, said that in Saudi Arabia, people refer to the south as '07, which is derogatory, since it refers to the last area code phone number' in the kingdom.
'The south is very poor, and that is why rebellion comes from there,' he said, 'and this is why sentences are harsh, because Saudi authorities want to scare them,' he said.
Human Rights Watch in a statement Monday appealed to Abdullah to halt the executions.
It said that there is 'strong evidence' that the trials of all seven men violated basic principles of rights to a fair trial.
'It will be outrageous if the Saudi authorities go ahead with these executions,' said Eric Goldstein, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.
'It is high time for the Saudis to stop executing child offenders and start observing their obligations under international human rights law.'
A Saudi security official says executions of seven Saudis sentenced to death by crucifixion and firing squad have been postponed for a week.
He said King Abdullah would review the sentences. He met families of the seven on Sunday.
