I know I haven’t been blogging at all lately and also I know that talking about the religious police in Saudi Arabia is cliched and over consumed but the above clip was just too provocative to sit it through and let it pass without blogging about it .
This clip shows two members of The so called Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice restraining this powerless young guy, pinning him against the wall, searching his pockets, looking through his phone and slapping him around.
After Watching this shocking Video I couldn’t help it but to wonder how those CPVPV members would react when somebody faces them with the declaration of human rights and the number of violations they committed in Just two minutes clip :
- “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood”; Haia’a Member No.1: Dignity!! Rights!! Equality!! You sound like those Secularists Are you one of them, Huh ARE YOU?!
- ” Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person ” Haia’a Member No.1: Can’t you see, He’s Secured, Alright !
- “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Haia’a Member No.2: Huh; Listen to this idiot; he want us to treat people nicely, What’s the point of being in power if you can’t slap people around when we feel like it; “They should respect My Authoratah” !!
- “Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law” Haia’a Member No.2: Oh my bad; Maybe he would like to be dined and wined before I bust his sinner ass !!
- ” All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.” Ha’ia member No.1: Yeah, we’re equals and Elephants are Microwaves; LOL!
- “Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law.” Hai’a Member No.2: Good Luck Sinners; National Tribunals are our shit; They’re not particularly Competent but they’re ours !!
- “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.” Hai’a Member No.1: Oh Really, Now you’re just criticising our job description!! ; Hai’a Member No.2: I knew it, Those secularists wanna drive us out of work, Maggets !
- “Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.” Hai’a Member No.1: Huh,Independent,*LOL*, You just made my day you infidel Liberal bas***d. Hai’a Member No.2: *WHILE STRUGGLING WITH HIS LOUGHS* You want to be heard, “SILENCE I KILL YOU” !!
- “(1) Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence. (2) No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the penal offence was committed.” Hai’a Members Looking confused: Huh, What’s the question ?!
- “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.” Haia’a Member No.2: You must mean The Phone; My Colleague is just an Angry birds Fanatic; and he was trying to help the boy pass a level; You Just wanna make us look bad regardless that we were just trying to help!!
- “Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized.” Haia’a Member No.1: You’re just Making Shit up, What Dick.. Dic..; What is it, I can’t even pronounce it ; I bet it’s something you liberals talk about to question our faith !!
This is shocking to watch even for us saudis, We were always Optimistic but also skeptical of the latest alleged reforms of this committee Which stated that “Hai’a members may no longer interrogate suspects or determine their charges”; and now we watch its members cruising the streets harassing people and as we witnessed mixing it up with a pinch of physical abuse. All of that can be faintly understood when we know that they still believe that whatever they do is a religious duty mandated by god not just another daily governmental job.
And to answer the title, The answer would be: TWO !!
