Saudi Men Flogged for Harassing Women

The same Anon User who sent in the news that Egypt has banned the flogging of male prisoners also discovered this Reuters article which states that 137 Saudi Arabian and five foreign young men were flogged for "harassing women." I have no idea what they mean by harassment, whether it was inappropriate touching or possibly rape, but even Amnesty International believes this to be a grave human rights violation of these men, as reported in the article.
