RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's Attorney General Sheikh Saud Al-Muajab has ordered the arrest of two people for insulting an expatriate.

An official source at the Public Prosecution said the attorney general's directive followed a report submitted by the Prosecution Monitoring Center regarding a video that went viral on social media showing two people insulting an expatriate.

The video showed one of them men disguised as a woman deceiving the expatriate while the duo were sitting in a vehicle. The defendants recorded and published the video, which would prejudice public morals and the sanctity of private life.

The attorney general called for registering a criminal case against the perpetrators, in preparation to produce the men in the competent court and seek deterrent penalties for them.

The Public Prosecution monitors everything that would prejudice public morals and the right to privacy, the official source confirmed, pointing out that the Public Prosecution will also demand the application of regular penalties against anyone who harms others.
