Discrimination fines for rights protection
The Authority for the Care of Persons with Disabilities has announced the commencement of regulatory procedures on non-governmental establishments to ensure there is no discrimination against persons with disabilities, in accordance with the Board of Directors' rules. These measures include inspecting private and non-profit sector facilities to verify that persons with disabilities are not deprived of services or their own affairs. A committee will be formed to review violations and impose penalties, including fines of up to half a million riyals, which may be doubled upon recurrence. These steps aim to protect the rights of persons with disabilities and empower them within the community.
