RIYADH – The Riyadh District Court has sentenced a Yemeni pimp to three years in prison and 300 lashes of the whip. The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (Haia) members became suspicious about the activities of the Yemeni who was working in a mall in Riyadh. The Haia staffers arrested him and discovered related text messages, cell phone numbers and photos of different women on his mobile phone. He admitted providing prostitutes to customers for money. He will be deported once he has served his sentence.
