In Saudi Arabia, a court has announced the name of the person who sexually harassed a woman for the first time under a law passed in 2018. It was announced that the name of the person who was sentenced to 8 months in prison and a fine of 1,330 dollars by the court was Yasser al-Arawi.
A STEP DELAYED
With the law passed last year in Saudi Arabia, it was decided to announce the names of the abusers and the punishments they received. The change was welcomed by many in the Gulf Kingdom, and it was stated that the new decision was a belated step.
With another law that came into force in 2018, those who are tried and found guilty of sexual harassment in the country are sentenced to 2 years in prison and a fine of 27,000 dollars. If the crime is repeated, the offenders are sentenced to 5 years in prison and a fine of 80 thousand dollars.
