Taking photos in Saudi Arabia can get you jailed

This is a travel warning to anyone who is considering going to Saudi Arabia to watch Ruiz vs Joshua II. You can even get jailed for taking a selfie. Be careful and be safe. The Saudi Gazette, a leading English-language newspaper in Saudi Arabia, recently reported on the scary downsides of street photography in the country. “Taking pictures as a hobby can lead you straight to prison if you violate the cybercrime law and post the picture online,” the paper writes. https://petapixel.com/2015/02/08/street-photography-saudi-arabia-lead-straight-jail/

Why are you spending so much time attempting to defend ****ing saudi arabia? and keep saying 'but people die in america doe' and somehow you think that is a coherant argument or even a valid point. you are a proper weirdo :lol1: Did you bring it up or did I? :lol1: I think the question is rather why you spend so much time attacking Saudi when you have more problems inside your own house than they do.

Singing Sweet Caroline in SA is an automatic beheading.

Why are so many people in here trying to scaremonger? Unfortunately there appears to be a lot bigotry and some down right malicious posters with an agenda. I'm not going to try and defend everything Saudi Arabia do but some of the nonsense I have read about SA recently is laughable. I'm not even joking when I say that I would rather visit SA than the US...

It says taking photos and uploading them online. It specifically states it's related to cyber crime and violating a person's privacy. OP making it sound like taking a photo automatically = going to jail

All this just for Boxing? Yeah No Thanks! It is not worth it at all find another Location in which Travelers can go and have a good time and not worry about Breaking Laws that they're not aware of What is the next Suggested Location from Eddie? "North Korea"? :nonono: Fans want to push Andy into going when they themselves are not even making the Trip :lol1: AJ has obviously said to Hearn, just make the fight where i can make the most money because it will be my last fight. There is no other logical explanation for putting the fight there.

Sounds fair enough. Can I wear blue jeans in public there or would I get beheaded for that? https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/020/546/7e7.jpg

Can I drink a non-alcoholic beer in Saudi Arabia or will I get beheaded? Only for the third offense. First they cut the tongue out, second is sewing your mouth shut, then finally beheading
