**A Saudi Arabian appeals court has upheld a sentence of five years in jail and 1,000 lashes for a man who boasted on TV of his sex life, reports say.**Mazen Abdul Jawad was convicted in October of immoral behaviour under the country’s strict Islamic law code.
Sentences of two years in jail and 300 lashes were upheld for three friends of his who were also on the programme.
They appeared on a programme aired last July on the Beirut-based Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC).
The men can appeal again to a higher court.
The Saudi offices of LBC were shut in August last year, ahead of Abdul Jawad’s conviction.
On the show, called Red Lines, Abdul Jawad spoke about picking up women before he was married and displayed sex toys on camera.
The 32-year-old father-of-four’s interview prompted around 200 complaints from Saudi viewers and calls for him to be punished.
Saudi Arabia is one of the most conservative societies in the Arab world.
Abdul Jawad later apologised, saying producers at the TV station had tricked him into airing some of his stories.
His lawyer, Sulaiman Jumaie, objected that LBC’s owners and managers were not charged over the incident.
Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is a majority shareholder in LBC.
Wow...... wow..... as if what I already know about these arboob lands is not enough.
I bet you if this was a woman, she would have been stoned to death by now and...... below the part of your post which I have quoted..... is a proof of the typical hypocricy of the arab legal system. They punish the powerless but let go the 'prince' - the owner of the channel.
How many arabs can claim to have an clean life? But they complain about another arab for being truthful but they dont complain about the one who made sure to broadcast the stories of his sins to the whole world.
I bet you this 'prince' probably had some grudge against this other saudi so he decided to punish him by getting him strangled through this media trick with the help of his own channel. That's how the things work in these oppressive lands. And it is unfortunate to see 90% of Pakistanis bowing to these arboobs' hypocritic ways of living & commands as if they were gods.

look on this board. look around you. just because the arboobs are holding on to the sacred lands does not make them sacred too but our stupid, ignorant pakistanis bow to them as if they are gods and do not question their hypocritic ways. infact, they copy them, imply the same hypocritics ways in their homes, countries. it is just sad. no hope.
^ what do you mean 90% of Pakistanis bow to arboobs? any proof?
