Emirati held in Saudi Arabia for meeting girl

Published

Saudi Arabia’s religious police arrested an Emirati man in his 40s after catching him with a girl in his car in the Gulf Kingdom.

Sabq newspaper said members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice were on a routine night patrol when they spotted the Mercedes parked in a deserted area in the northeastern Saudi town of Hafr Al Batin.

It said Commission members arrested the man after they found the girl with him in the car, adding that he had come to that area over the past three years to see the girl.

“When they arrested him and told him that they are from the Commission, he resisted arrest and said to them ‘what Commission…” the paper said, without identifying the man and his girlfriend.
