Ahmed Al-Muhaimid, a Saudi Arabian lawyer, confirmed that anyone who records the harasser being harassed and posts the footage on social media will be fined half a million riyals and imprisoned for one year.
Al-Muhaimid said on the "Al-Rased" program on the "Al-Ekhbariya" channel, "We must differentiate between documentation required by the court system and that used in combating information crimes."
According to him, "The difference between improperly utilizing this evidence and posting it on social media sites is that there is a difference between using it inappropriately. Digital evidence, which includes conversations recorded on mobile phones, also constitutes documentation. But you have misused it here, and you are in the forbidden zone
The offender is removed from the evidence system to the information crime control system, and exits from obscenity into crime. As a result, the law punishes the offender with a fine of 500,000 and imprisonment for a year
