YouTube video of Saudi students' obscene act raises storm

A video claims to show two Saudi school boys indulging in indecent acts inside their class at a school in the Gulf Kingdom while a third student was filming them, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The Arabic language daily ‘Sada’ said the two were shown in a YouTube film engaged in an “obscene act”, adding that the film has triggered anger by the viewers.

“Such an act contravenes Islamic teachings and Saudi Arabia’s traditions… Viewers have called on the Ministry of Education to urgently investigate the case and take measures against those boys,” the paper said without making clear where in Saudi Arabia the film was taken.
