Outrage as video clip of youth dancing on roof of car is posted on internet

Manama: A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a young man to 10 years in prison and 2,000 lashes for dancing naked on the roof of a car.

The defendant was also ordered to pay a 50,000 Saudi riyal (Dh48,956) fine for his “indecent act” committed in winter at a camp where young men gathered over the weekend, local Arabic daily Okaz reported on Thursday.

The public had expressed outrage at the “open immoral and decadent behaviour” after a video clip of the rowdy dance was widely circulated on the internet.

Three other men were given prison terms and fines for taking part in the dance. One was sentenced to seven years in prison and 2,000 lashes and the other two to five years and 1,200 lashes each.

The car had been confiscated. The four defendants have the right to appeal the verdict.

According to the daily, the public prosecutor said that he would challenge the ruling, saying that it was “too lenient.”

Obviously, none of them are important people. If they were there would be no punishment. It would be buried. I think this is a good place for the king to step in and provide moderation.

Death by a thousand cuts, or two thousand lashes.

I’m assuming that they don’t do two thousand at once, He’d be dead well before that and they want to ensure they get their pound of flesh or two thousand lashes.

No doubt, some place, some liberal is saying the Christians did this during the crusades. After all, the crusades were only like what, 1991?

Send them all to Bouvet Island. Naked dancing in winter will be a thing of the past.

Any naked dancers in summer will be eaten by the Orcas.

He’s not going to survive this. Why didn’t they just sentence him to beheading, like they normally do?

Apparently, one gets ones lashes in rations - a regular amount over a period of time.

One of the few advantages for women, in this situation, is that they are allowed to wear as many clothes as they like, during the lashings. Men usually have to bare their back.

Although I don't think that people should be dancing naked in public - it was merely an all-male gathering. The sentence is absurdly cruel - a fine would be more appropriate.

And compare it to the lenient sentence given to a Saudi preacher who tortured his daughter to death:

A Saudi preacher accused of torturing his five-year-old daughter and beating her to death has been sentenced to eight years in prison and 600 lashes
