Saudi Arabia f!ghts against immoral acts, begging, and pr0stitution with over 50 people arrested

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia arrested over 50 people including s3x workers and foreign nationals as the community security crackdown on immorality.

The Ministry of Interior reportedly arrested 11 women on pr0stitution charges. 

The community security unit also detained dozens of foreigners in massage parlours and for forcing women and children into begging.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the creation of a new police unit to tackle ‘‘community security and human tr@fficking”.

For years, the kingdom has moved to loosen its social restrictions and moved to diversify the economy.

The kingdom did announce a ‘public decency’ law in 2019, but it has not been strictly enforced. Also, Saudi authorities are allegedly dealing with a rise in dr*g abu$e and pr0stitution, according to the Financial Times. 

 Some experts have suggested that easing visa restrictions and curbs on women’s liberty have enabled the s3x trade in Saudi Arabia.

They allege tourism, rapid social changes and the rising number of foreign workers in the country are yielding an increase in cr!minal activity. 

The Saudi Interior Ministry last month framed the new unit as an effort to uphold personal rights, fundamental freedoms guaranteed by sharia law, the kingdom’s legal framework, and individual dignity.

The citizens have put out their contributions on this issue, Sultan Alamer, a senior resident fellow at the Washington-based New Lines Institute, told the newspaper that the framing of such announcements should be around security rather than human rights. 

Khalid al-Sulaiman, a columnist for the semi-official Okaz Daily, suggests the unit was created in direct response to public displays of immorality and online advertisements for !llicit services.
