More obsession about KSA's internal judiciary laws as usual even though KSA has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, nowhere near close to the highest number of executions on an annual basis (184 people in a nation of 35 million - the horror) nor was flagellation in KSA ever used as anything more than a humiliation type of punishment rather than as a punishment that was/is intended to cause grave or serious physical harm. When somebody farts in KSA it becomes world news. Nothing new, either.
Lashing an Iranian for desecrating the Holy Mosque in Madinah, Saudi Arabia by urinating inside the mosque.
A long list of countries from Europe, the Americas, Africa to Asia have been using flag (in its severe form unlike in KSA in the past) and are still using it today.
In countries like Singapore and Malaysia it is a legacy of the British and was/is much more serious.
No need to mention the likes of Iran either and many majority Muslim nations.
Old news as well.
Don't tell it to that Arabized and Turkified Anatolian/Albanian (or whatever he is) or that the host country (Pakistan) of this forum uses that punishment and a host of countries in the region and even numerous non-Muslim countries as far away as Singapore which is a 100 times more developed country than Turkey.
Turks are some of the last people on earth to be talking about "19th century" given your history. The whole world is well aware of the most recent
genocides that you committed in the
20th century.

Erdogan seems to be living in the 19th century as well given his failed Neo-Ottoman fairytale dreams and failed as well as deluded geopolitical projects.
In the real world KSA's HDI (Human Development Index) is way ahead of Turkey. KSA's economy is bigger. The average GDP per capita (nominal) is light years ahead, KSA's universities are ranked higher, the infrastructure is superior, health care system, education level, living standards etc.
Yes, the world should follow Turkey's lead, the country that jails the most journalists in the world.

Nonsense. What does a Bangladeshi user, that most likely cannot even count to 10 in Arabic, have of knowledge about Saudi Arabian politics, dynamics etc. (let alone that of the Arab world or region)? Zero is the answer. I suggest focusing on internal Bangladeshi affairs under the Hasina regime or worrying about saving your brethren in Myanmar that face slaughter and displacement. That and waiting for the next deportation of illegal Bangladeshis/Rohingyas arriving back home from KSA.
Saudi Arabia abolishes “Ta’zir flogging” as punishment

Ta’zir flogging” as a form of punishment, the Ministry of Justice said on Tuesday.
“Prison [sentences] or fines or both will be some of the alternative sentences to replace flogging. Courts will hear and evaluate cases and make sound decisions regarding each case,” the ministry said on Twitter.
The Minister of Justice, Waleed al-Samaani, issued a circular to all courts informing them of the Supreme Court’s decision: Courts should issue prison sentences or fines or a combination of both as punishment for crimes instead of “Ta’zir flogging.”
The concept of “Ta’zir” allows judges to decide on the form of punishments for crimes which are not specifically outlined by Islamic Sharia law according to the Quran or the Prophet’s word (Hadith).
A document stating
Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court's decision to eliminate "Ta'zir flogging", seen by Al Arabiya English, had emerged towards the end of April.
At the time, the Saudi Human Rights Commission (HRC) welcomed the decision, and said: "This decision ensures that those who were once sentenced with floggings, will now receive fines or prison sentences instead. This significant reform was implemented under the direct supervision of King Salman and the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman."
HRC President Awwad al-Awaad said: “This reform is a momentous step forward in Saudi Arabia’s human rights agenda, and merely one of over 70 human rights reforms carried out in the Kingdom over the past five years.”
“Although these reforms improve the lives of a wide range of beneficiaries, including women, workers, youth, and the elderly, they all stem from the same overarching desire to make a better life for all citizens and residents of the Kingdom,” he added.
The decision comes weeks after the Kingdom abolished the death sentence for individuals who committed crimes while still minors under 18 years of age.

So even terrorists that committed terrorism while under the age of 18 when their crimes occurred, will face overall mild punishments.
PDF remains the same old joke as always. No wonder that 99.99% of all Arab users have left this irrelevant cesspool and echo chamber of nonsense.
KSA never gave a crap about what the West thinks. If we did, we could have altered our customs, alphabet, culture and adopted foreign ones, including political ideologies, like most others in the region have done.
We have the oldest continuous native linguistic, territorial, religious etc. cultural continuation of any entity in the region.
