A video clip that circulated on social media apparently showing detained prisoners in Jeddah injecting themselves with what appears to be drugs. In a post on its Twitter account, the General Directorate of Prisons said preliminary investigations into the video showed that the prisoners were in fact taking insulin shots and the motive behind uploading the clip on social media websites was to tarnish the reputation of the prison director. A thorough investigation is under way and all those involved will be severely punished, the directorate said. — Courtesy photo
