Saudi Authorities has come up with a new drafted law regulation which will penalize severely on harassing or blackmailing to any citizen or expatriate, to male or female.
The penalty in the new regulation for harassment or blackmail is 5 years jail term and a fine of not more than 500,000 Saudi Riyals, or anything between jail term and fine.
- Saudi Arabia's King Salman has already issued directives few days ago to Interior Ministry to prepare and submit the draft for anti harassment regulation.
- The royal directives stressed that the criminal regulation of harassment and blackmail must specify the fines and jail term in order to serve the criminal for committing such crime.
