Saudi prince flogged in court-ordered punishment: newspaper
None
A prince of Saudi Arabia's ruling Al Saud family was given lashes in a prison in Jeddah as a court-ordered punishment, a Saudi newspaper reported on Wednesday, less than a month after the kingdom executed another prince for murder.
The brief report in Okaz daily did not disclose the offense for which he was being punished but said the unidentified prince was also ordered to serve a prison sentence.
The flogging was carried out by a policeman on Monday after medical checks to ensure the prince was healthy, the paper added.
