RIYADH, 16 November — Fifty-nine men, including eight foreigners, have been flogged at various places in the capital for harassing girls, a newspaper reported yesterday. The men were arrested last week by special squads deployed in markets and at major shopping centers, and each given 15 lashes after failing to heed a first warning, Al-Riyadh newspaper said. Several dozen young men were flogged in Riyadh and other provinces over the past several weeks in a crackdown on men who harass girls.
