It can be very expensive to be gay in Saudi Arabia.
A 27 year old guy in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has been sent to prison for a year, fined $1,330, and was also sentenced to have 1,000 lashes. His crime - being a little camp and effeminate in a video.
Ok, Ahmad al-Faqih, was also charged with impersonating a police officer, being a homosexual and committing a general security offence.
His little amateur video production last around three minutes and in which, al-Faqih is dressed up as a Saudi cop, asking for someones driver's license, and demanding "comfort" to let the driver go free. He then jigs around the car, playing with his chest at one point.
The video reportedly raced around Saudi Arabia where such things are highly frowned upon and being gay is a crime with harsh penalties.
You can see the video here.
