MAKKAH, 10 May — Three youths who attacked a teacher of the Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari secondary school here were punished with 70 lashes publicly. The culprits drove into the front gate of school making loud noises and began abusing teachers and students in the school. When a teacher attempted to stop them they rammed his car and fled the scene. As a teacher could identify the mischievous youths, the police caught them and a summary court sentenced them to 70 lashes and two months jail, Okaz reported yesterday. Last week four youths, who were arrested at a Riyadh souk for harassing women, were given 15 lashes each and were jailed until their parents sought their release.
