Saudi Prince arrested over video of abuse shared on social media

A Saudi prince has been arrested on the orders of Saudi King Salman bin Abdelaziz after videos were shared on social media showing the prince beating several people, BBC reports.

According to the state-run Al-Ikhbariya TV‘s Twitter account @alekhbariyatv, the arrest order for Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Musaed bin Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud was issued to prevent any similar abuse, and the prince was arrested by Riyadh police.

“The royal decree was issued to prohibit injustice, despotism, harassment and harm, and it is an enforcement of the fair rule of sharia” Al-Ikhbariya explained in another tweet.

Saudi-funded Al-Arabiya reported on the same day the royal decree stressed no individual who appeared in the videos with the prince would be released until a legal ruling is issued against them.
