More than 200 people were arrested in recent days in Saudi Arabia for “indecency” or “harassment”, in a first such campaign since the opening of reforms in terms of social norms in the ultra-conservative kingdom.

Over the past week, some 120 men and women were arrested for wearing “inappropriate clothing,” Riyadh police said in a series of tweets published since Tuesday.

The authorities added that the detainees had been punished, without explaining what the sanctions were.

Meanwhile, another 88 people were arrested for “harassment,” police said in separate statements. This second wave of arrests came after the complaints of several women on social networks about cases of harassment at the MDL Beast electronic music festival, near Riyadh, earlier this month.

This is the first campaign of appeal to the moral order since the crown prince Mohamed bin Salmán promoted a relaxation of the strict social norms that govern the oil monarchy.

Its policies have resulted in measures such as the reopening of cinemas, driving authorization for women or organizing concerts and sporting events.

These initiatives have been welcomed with joy by numerous Saudis, in a country where two thirds of the population is under 30 years old.

However, in September, while announcing the granting of tourist visas, the authorities reported that they would punish those who attempted against “public decency.”

Men and women should avoid “tight” clothes or gestures of affection in public, explains a website in English of the Tourism Authority, adding that “women should cover their shoulders and knees”.

The directives on decency, approved for the first time by the government in April, seemed vague and raised suspicion and doubts about their interpretation.

They also fed the fears of a return of the religious police that monitors the separation between men and women in the public space, about respecting the Islamic dress code or the obligation to close the shops during the hour of prayer.

But the prerogatives of their agents, long feared, have been visibly reduced, as well as their presence in the streets.
