Now it's a different crime:
 

A crime of a different nature has been committed in Saudi Arabia, by a group of men who seem to have been overly affectionate to passers-by.

A young Saudi man, Bandr al-Swed and his friend decided that, seeing as how Mr. Swed had had success hugging strangers in other countries, and consequently posting it on YOUtube, he would try the unconventional campaign of sorts in his own country, Riyadh.
Apparently, in this instance, the video inspired two young Saudis, Abdulrahman Khayyal and a friend, to start their own campaign on the Saudi streets.
However, it was not received well by the locals. rt.com reports, "The country’s religious police force which prevented them from carrying out their campaign is called Mutawa, and its responsibilities include preventing women driving, enforcing modest dress codes, policing bans on public entertainment and making sure all businesses close for prayers five times a day."
The police responded after complaints from local families and individuals who reported the men's "unsavoury" actions.
