Last but not least: How an Arab broadcaster destroyed the good image of a prince
As is well known, things are different in the Arab world than they are here. The following story confirms this once again.
The news channel Al-Arabiya did not broadcast an interview with one of 5,000 Saudi princes - and must now pay for this crime: the judges are demanding a whopping 25,000 francs fine from the broadcaster. Al-Arabiya had initially announced the interview with Prince Doctor Saif al-Islam bin Saud Abdul Aziz al-Saud, but later failed to broadcast it. Unbelievable - I wonder what the broadcaster was thinking? In any case, the judges thought that such impudence should be punished. After all, the monarch had suffered "emotional, moral and social damage to his image as a member of the royal family and as an academic"... poor thing!
