Sheikh Abdulaziz Al-Humayen, General President of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (the Hai'a), has suspended the six Hai'a members accused of abusing a female citizen in Madina. The Hai'a chief has also tasked a committee to conduct a performance review of all staff at the Hai'a centers in Madina. The move comes after a woman was allegedly assaulted by Hai'a members who ripped her purse and abaya while she was traveling with her uncle in a taxi in Madina. A source told Okaz/Saudi Gazette that the committee will ensure that all field members are up to the mark and are able to carry out the tasks assigned to them. New Hai'a members will only be allowed into the field after one year of their appointment. They will also undergo an intensive training on their dealing with the general public. The six Hai'a members will be on half salary until the case is thoroughly investigated. __
