From Arab News:
MADINAH: The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice on Wednesday clarified the reasons behind the arrests of two young Saudi men in Madinah and said the reports carried by some local newspapers on the arrests contained false information.
Bandar Al-Robaish, spokesman of the commission’s branch in Madinah, said police detained the two men after they were found taking a woman from Haram Plaza in suspicious circumstances and going around with her.
"Haram Plaza"? How could they be up to anything other than mischief, coming out of the Haram Plaza?
“The commission’s patrol stopped them to check whether the woman in their car was their relative or not. But they did not cooperate. Instead they started abusing our officers and publicly accused them of (soliciting for) prostitution,” he said.
The commission officials then tried to cool down the young men and reach an understanding with them, the spokesman said. “But the two men escalated the situation by gathering people and attacking commission members,” he added.
Outbully the bullies. If they accuse you of going about with an unrelated woman, accuse them of prostitution. Threaten, attack, escalate, escalate, escalate. Not exactly a society built on calm, rational discourse.
