Eatery Owner Faces Flogging for Hiring Women

Eatery Owner Faces Flogging for Hiring Women
(Arab News)
When Al-Ramadan arrived in the court, the judge informed him that he had been sentenced in absentia to 90 lashes to be administered in clusters of 30 apiece. The charge against him was violating dignity and decorum.

After further inquiries, Al-Ramadan found out that his crime was employing two young women at his restaurant “Ranoosh” to take orders by phone. That was a year and a half ago when locals reported this supposed infraction to authorities.

Clusters of 30. How considerate.
