Riyadh: A Saudi lawyer said on Sunday he had filed an appeal against two members of the moral police (mutawa) over the death of a Saudi man last year.
A court last November acquitted two employees of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice of killing Salman Al Huraisy last year after the morality squad raided his home and seized alcohol.
The same court this month upheld the ruling but the case will go to appeal, said Abdul Rahman Al Lahem, a leading human rights lawyer.
