A female journalist has been sentenced to 60 lashes in Saudi Arabia after being charged with involvement in a TV show in which a Saudi man talked about his sexual exploits.[...]
Miss al-Yami, who worked as a coordinator for the programme but has denied working on the episode in question, said she believed the judge at the court in Jiddah dropped the charges against her, but said he had still handed down the lashing sentence "as a deterence."
"I am too frustrated and upset to appeal the sentence," she said.
