RIYADH (AFP) - Saudi Arabia denied on Tuesday reports that a court in the kingdom has ordered a punishment of paralysis for a man who committed a crime that paralysed another man. The reports about the sentence, which sparked condemnation after Amnesty International urged the Saudi authorities to annul it, were “false,” a justice ministry spokesman told AFP. The ministry also used its Twitter account to refute the reports about the sentence, which Britain’s Foreign Office described as “grotesque”. “In response to reports by some media about a court sentence of paralysis for a man, the ministry clarifies that such a claim is completely false,” it said.
