Thai court ruling: Saudi embassy 'upset but not surprised'

Saudi 's are complaining about a justice system blink.png

Suppose you mean kettle calling pot black.

But someone was supposedly murdered, no one should be above the law, whether in Thailand or Saudi Arabia.

May be the solution here is if Thailand and Saudi were able to agree on asking neutral country to investigate and review all the evidence.

I've lived in both KSA and Thailand. I know which I think is the most corrupt and it ain't the Arab one.

Then you should live there whistling.gif

Should? The world does not work on "should."

No-one should be above the law? The law in Saudi Arabia is Islam Sharia, the fundamentalist Wahabbi interpretation thereof, and it includes different standards for infidel/unbelievers, Saudis, and foreign Muslims.

Example: Rape. Four male witnesses required, otherwise the default is that the victim is prosecuted for adultery. A "Western" foreigner victim may be able to benefit from diplomatic intervention so as to get out of jail and get out of the country. Victim not "Western", the sentence for adultery can be death penalty.

I feel sorry for those 10000 workers from Thailand who are working in Saudi arabia.

Indeed.

So i am not interested in Saudi complaints about justice. They consider themselves above normal standards, anyway.

been in saudi arabia 5 years ,who cares if they get upset ,love it ,

The estimated value of the jewels including the blue diamond at the time of

the theft was 20 million dollars. The total of the lost wages by Thai workers

was in the hundreds of millions of dollars. What total arrogance by whoever

is holding the jewels. They cannot be worn, why not just return them ???

Someday a movie will be made about this affair, and Thailand will lose

some serious face.......
