News from Saudi Arabia on Al-Arabiyya: "a red night"

This is an actual top news story on the sleazy website of news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law, Al-Arabiyya (my translation):  "The Committee for the Command of Virtue and the Prohibition of Vice captured 14 young men and women in a read night that was held in Khamis mashit. The spokesperson of the branch of the Committee in `Asir, `Awad Al-Asmari, said that the center of the arrest committee in the governorate of khamis mashit received a report about that rest area, and after confirmation according to laws and instructions, 5 young men and 9 young women were arrested in a remote rest area in the governorate.  Their night was hedonistic and included liquors.  He added that the arrested people were referred to specialized committees according to criminal laws there.  He affirmed that the committee will do its utmost to preserve security of this precious homeland and to protect the values and morals of its esteemed society."
