Saudi man to be flogged for appearing in ‘gay themed’ video
A 27-year-old man in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was sent to jail for a year, fined $1,330, and will be lashed 1,000 times for appearing in a gay-themed video, The Pink Paper reports.
Ahmad al-Faqih was charged with impersonating a police officer, being a homosexual and committing a general-security offense.
The amateur, three-minute production shows al-Faqih dressed as a cop, asking for someone’s driver’s license, and demanding “physical comfort” to let the driver go free. He opens his shirt, plays with his chest and dances around suggestively to club music while holding a gun.
