MADINAH, 17 March 2007 — A member of the National Committee for Human Rights, Saeed Al-Zahrani, met with Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Ghaith, director general of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, here recently.
The talks, which took place during Al-Ghaith’s visit to the commission’s Madinah headquarters, focused on the religious body’s services to society.
