- JEDDAH: Let this be a warning to restaurant customers across Saudi Arabia: A court in Jeddah sentenced a man to 14 months in prison and 80 lashes for serving himself up a chicken leg while the owner of the small eatery was looking the other way, Al-Madinah daily reported on Saturday.
But some workers at the restaurant noticed the man’s illegal lifting of a drumstick and called the police. Now he’s serving time at Jeddah’s Briman prison where he’s probably being served chicken in his khabsa and paying for it with his freedom.
