According to a local report in
Thursday's edition of Okaz, a partially paralyzed man was sentenced to six
months in a jail and 150 lashes. The report didn't bother to mention what crime
he was found guilty of committing, but it did say the man claims to have lost
part of his vision after being wheeled into jail and severely lashed as part of
his sentence. The National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) in Makkah recently
intervened to get the man out of prison.
