Saudi Court To Retry Religious Police Arrestees

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — A Saudi Arabian high court has ordered a new trial for two officers from the religious police who were acquitted in the death of a man taken into custody after a raid to find alcohol in his home, a newspaper reported yesterday. The Saudi Cassation Court ordered the new trial into Sulaiman al-Huraisi's death in May because of "mistakes" in the original one, defense lawyer Raiq Badawi was quoted as saying by the daily Okaz.
