RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – A Saudi court on Saturday convicted a female journalist for her involvement in a TV show, in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex, and sentenced her to 60 lashes.
Rozanna al-Yami is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be given such a punishment. The charges against her included involvement in the preparation of the program and advertising the segment on the Internet.
Abdul-Rahman al-Hazza, the spokesman of the Ministry of Culture and Information, told The Associated Press he had no details of the sentencing and could not comment on it.
In the program, which aired in July on the Lebanese LBC satellite channel, Mazen Abdul-Jawad appears to describe an active sex life and shows sex toys that were blurred by the station. The same court sentenced Abdul-Jawad earlier this month to five years in jail and 1,000 lashes.

to clarify - they mostly came from THAT country - Saudi Arabia ....
.... now if we could ever figure out “THAT woman” which Clinton kept referring to....
... or “THAT certificate” which 000bama can’t seem to find ...........
I roundly condemn them for giving someone lashes for talking about sex. But I can’t condemn them for giving a female journalist 60 lashes, as there are many female (and male) journalists I’d like to give 60 lashes.
The man talks about sex, and the woman gets beaten???
These people live in what century??? The 12th? What kind of monsters are these?
Didn’t he get 1000 lashes? If delivered all at once, that would be a death sentence, I would think.
Note to all women:
Defeat it or submit, your choice.
The kind of monsters we support with billions and billions of dollars because they're our 'friends'.
She should have talked about Gay Sex. Seems to be ok with the Muslim in the white house.
I wonder if they spread the 1000 lashes over the jail term? I wouldn't think one could survive 1000 lashes at once.
Our friends, the Saudis.
Yep, those silly muslims are at it, again. The Religion of Pieces schooling one of their own. Still bringing us the best of the Seventh Century for over 1400 years.
Islam is a cancer on humanity.
Islam is a boil and needs to be lanced.
Prez Zero’s gang might get ideas from this in order to deal with Fox News journalists.
“Please note that the American taxpayer keeps this regime in power.”
Astonishing isn’t it! And yet maybe not so astonishing since one pressure group here tells us we can’t drill here and drill now while the other tries to convince us that alternative sources of energy are pie in the sky nonsense.
The tongue lashing has already begun.
I can think of a noble moslem in this country, very prominent in fact, initials B.O., who will gladly lay his body across hers as the lashes are being meted out. Such is his commitment to America’s principles.

My 11yo son likes to watch this show on Charter on Demand, “How it’s Made”. It is a show about how things are made. It appeals to kids, boys mostly, yet EVERY SINGLE EPISODE starts with a Viagra commercial.
I read a book years ago written by a Saudi princess that had escaped to England. The book gave me nightmares for a long time. One particular chapter detailed the killing of her best friend by her father in the family swimming pool. These people are animals and we kiss their collective a$$es.
