News from Riyadh, capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has it that country’s public prosecutor has warned that anyone who posts on social media any photos or videos of violations of the newly imposed curfew order, or incites anyone else to break the curfew, faces prosecution.

In a message posted on Twitter, the bureau said that perpetrators will be charged under Article Six of the Information Crime Prevention Law, which carries a punishment of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to SR 3 million. The punishment will be applied to violators but informers will not be questioned, it added.

Saudi Arabia is a country where citizens allign with government in doing the right thing thereby making their society a saner clime for them and others to live and which makes it possible and easier for the authorities in the kingdom to have grip of its precautionary measures against the outbreak of Coronavirus that some travelers-in have brought into the country.

The DEFENDER reports, however, that since there is no society is 100 percent free of sinner or criminal, Saudi Arabia as headquarters of Islamic faith worldwide is not an exception but that what makes it different is its clear and sincere enforcement of its laws and implementation of its social welfare and other programmes for the good of the people and of the kingdome.
