JEDDAH: The Specialized Criminal Court in Riyadh issued a preliminary ruling to sentence a Saudi man to eight years in prison after he was found guilty of charging some Arab rulers with infidelity.

He also was found guilty of sheltering and transferring one wanted militant.
He also faces charges of attempting to mislead security authorities and storing what would harm the public order of a video on how to use a grenade and a Glock handgun, and for giving SR10,000 to an unauthorized person for the purpose of handing it over to Syrian refugees.
