Flogging reforms in Saudi Arabia

"It is highly disturbing to read or hear about such stories, which include reports where lawyers are evicted from courtrooms, jailed or flogged, all because of their differences of opinion or disputes with one judge or another.  We are afraid of turning such incidents into a trend encompassing society as a whole. After some time, perhaps university professors, doctors, engineers, teachers or other professionals may be awarded with similar flogging punishments."
