Singapore to cane Saudi diplomat for molesting hotel intern
SINGAPORE: A Singapore court sentenced a Saudi Arabian diplomat to four strokes of a cane and more than 26 months in jail for molesting a young hotel intern while on holiday in the city state last year, the Straits Times newspaper said on Friday.
Bander Yahya A. Alzahrani, 39, who is attached to the Saudi Arabia Embassy in Beijing, is appealing against his conviction and sentence, the newspaper said.
Caning is legal for male offenders in Singapore. The judicial system can hand down the corporal punishment for offences such as drug and sexual abuse, vandalism and rioting, or to foreigners who overstay visas by more than 90 days.
新加坡:《海峽時報》週五報導,新加坡法院判處一名沙特阿拉伯外交官鞭打四下,並因去年在新加坡度假期間猥褻一名年輕的酒店實習生而被判處超過 26 個月的監禁。
該報稱,現年 39 歲的 Bander Yahya A. Alzahrani 隸屬於沙特阿拉伯駐北京大使館,正在對他的定罪和判刑提出上訴。
在新加坡,對男性罪犯進行鞭刑是合法的。司法系統可以對毒品和性虐待、故意破壞和騷亂等罪行,或對簽證逾期90天以上的外國人進行體罰。
