A 56-year-old Saudi woman has been arrested by religious police after she was found guilty of blackmailing a 23-year-old man for more than two years, reported 'Al Bayan' newspaper.
She allegedly threatened to expose his personal videos after he decided to break-up with her, the paper quoted a report in 'Al Hayat'.
The Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (CPVP) received a complaint from the man who claimed an elderly woman was threatening to kill him and make public his personal videos. The man claimed that the woman blackmailed him saying she would file a complaint against him saying he 'exploited' her and thus he would be punished by law.
She allegedly sent him threatening text messages from six telephone numbers.
Several times she even approached him at his residence requesting him not to end their relationship, he claimed.
As per the instructions of the religious police, he met her at a shopping mall in Riyadh, where she was arrested.
Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police sent a unit to surround and destroy a suspected enemy-- a magic talisman asking jinn (spirits) to separate two newly wed couple in the Gulf kingdom.
Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice rushed to the battlefield after receiving a call from a man that he has just seen a suspected talisman hanging by a tree.
“The Commission asked the man not to come near the parcel before their arrival,” Sabq Arabic language daily said in a report from the Western Saudi town of Almadina.
“When they arrived, they used a knife to take the suspected talisman off the tree….they opened it and found unreadable words and names of jinn asking them to destroy the relationship between a husband and his wife and their mothers.”
The paper said Commission members quickly destroyed the “magic jinn work” but could not identify the targeted couple.
