Three of the men are Saudi, aged between 20 and 26, and the fourth, a Palestinian aged 24, who filmed them with his mobile camera as they harassed the girls.
They confessed to having deliberately circulated the video clip on the Internet and by Bluetooth technology. The General Commission for Investigation and Prosecution closed the four young men’s file on Sunday after it completed its investigations.
The four young men were arrested after police received orders from the governor of Riyadh, Prince Salman, to catch them as quickly as possible.
The video clip caused a degree of shock, anger and outrage which the Kingdom has rarely experienced. The clip showed the young men holding the two girls, touching their private parts and also verbally abusing them. The girls, in accordance with Saudi customs, were completely covered from head to toe. Virtually all the Saudi public are demanding that the young men be severely punished as a deterrent to others.
