However, and there is always a ‘however’ isn’t there – we have to accept that Saudi laws and standards are NOT the same as our laws and standards. This isn’t to say that they are wrong (or for that nmatter that they are right) simply that those are THEIR laws and not ours.
This woman was a Saudi national living in Saudi Arabia and subject to all the laws of HER country. In their terms she may well have been leniently treated – who knows.
