Saudi cops raid mixed-gender Asian party

Saudi religious police raided an apartment and rounded up more than 100 Asian men and women attending a mixed-gender party.

Police later released all of them after a search showed there were no alcoholic drinks and the guests were not involved in “obscene” acts, Sada daily said.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice had stormed the apartment in the southern Khamis Mushait town following a tip off that a booze party is taking place in that area.

“After they did not find any alcoholic drinks and the guests were not involved in any obscene acts, Commission released them after they promised not to repeat such acts which violate the Kingdom’s Sharia laws,” the paper said.

It did not identify those involved but said they were all from an east Asian country.
