This is abhorrent.

Arrested and convicted for being a female in the same home as two males unrelated to her. She is in her 70's, the two males, in their 20's. Jail plus lashings ensue.

The defence was, she breast fed one of them, so is considered a relative. The defence was not, "there is nothing wrong with that".

This country is considered an important ally of the US in the Middle East.

The article discusses a Saudi government body called "The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice."

The world is a scary place.
