Saudi Arabia denies fines rumor over teacher assault
False reports have circulated on social media in Saudi Arabia claiming that a fine of one million riyals and a ten-year prison sentence would be imposed for any physical or verbal assault or defamation against teachers. However, official sources have denied the accuracy of these reports, clarifying that these alleged punishments are outdated and have been circulated since 2018. They explained that the Ministry of Education applies a conduct regulation that includes disciplinary measures such as calling the guardian, deducting behavioral points, and transferring the student depending on the type of violation, without imposing fines or prison sentences as described.
