*waits for you to realize that this doesn't represent the rest of us and if we were to defend it it will be per person and not all of us*
That represents your justice system, which represents all the citizens. So yes, it represents the entire country indirectly, and things NEED to be changed because that's just inhuman.

No it doesn't, I'm from the UAE this took place in the KSA, if you think for one second that this represents me then it represents YOU too.
If you assumed that I'm from there, read locations before you quote people.
I think they got what they deserve . They should know Celebrating Valentines is Forbiden and They are in SA !!!.
No they did not. If you think they deserve to get 5 to 10 years just for celebrating Valentines then bye.
Now, in this case it was mainly because of the possession of alcohol, the
presence of Women, and because some of them work in the military sector as well.
But it still isn't enough reason for that much of a sentence.
I mean, how did they even find them? They were in their own privacy and Spying is forbidden in Islam.
some Middle Eastern countries are open minded like Dubai, Lebanon, etc...
