Man Sentenced to Three Years in Prison for Harassment Offense

The sentencing was handed down in accordance with the second paragraph of Article Six of the Anti-Harassment Crime System, as issued by Royal Decree No. M/96. The court determined that the defendant’s actions were forbidden under Sharia principles, particularly given the victim’s age and the location of the offense.
The incident occurred approximately three years prior to the sentencing, which took place on 16-9-1439 (Gregorian calendar date not specified in the original text).
