Gay Saudi Prince Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud has been convicted within the U.K. of murdering his manservant, which carries a life sentence. In Saudi Arabia, however, he’d be executed for being homosexual, so the Saudi prince is leaning from extradition. U.K. court has convicted the Saudi prince, 34, of murdering 32-year-old male servant Bandar Abdulaziz in their suite at London’s Landmark Hotel. Alcoholic drinks and intense torture of a sexual nature were reportedly involved within the deadly confrontation. Witnesses testified to the Saudi prince’s abusive nature and the “personal gratification” he derived from beating his slave. Hotel security footage implies that Bandar Abdulaziz accepted his deadly beating submissively.
Diplomatic defense was not enough for Saudi prince
British justice was not designed to do something about Saudi Royal prince Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud, he claims. He thought being grandson of Saudi Arabia’s king and his diplomatic immunity would save him. His defense said it had been manslaughter although he admits to murder eventually. The court at Old Bailey sentenced the Saudi prince to life in prison for murder, however he faces execution in Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality is a capital offense. Prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw claims that “beyond a shadow of a doubt”, Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud is shown through physical and photographic evidence to have subjected Bandar Abdulaziz to “sadistic” sexual torture.
What Saudi prince’s fate is through the Quran
Some would argue that the Saudi prince acted in concert with Sharia law. Some people think the Prophet Mohammad abused servants. This was only when they were doing something wrong though. The Quran does not advocate physical abuse. This is what Muslim Access says:
“As to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance)” – An-Nisa’: 34-35
“Beating,” in this sense, is translated from dharban ghayra mubarrih, which means “a light tap that leaves no mark” with a siwak, or toothbrush. Guilty Saudi royal prince should have perhaps figured out what was an appropriate way to treat servants that misbehaved. The royal family won’t be able to help him out no matter what. He is going to be on the chopping block nevertheless either way.
