Reporting insults: what do you need?
| Type of abuse | Useful evidence |
|---|---|
| On social media | A full screenshot showing the account name and date, and the link to the post or chat |
| By phone or message | The messages themselves and the sender's number |
| Face to face | Witnesses, and the venue's cameras if any |
Insults through technology may fall under the Anti-Cybercrime Law, and slander (qadhf) carries heavier rules. Details and penalties are in defamation and insult in Saudi Arabia.
What happens after the report?
The security authority gathers evidence and summons the parties, then the case goes to the Public Prosecution for investigation, and on to the Criminal Court if the facts are established. The victim has a private right to seek punishment and compensation, and may settle or waive it. Read the Public Prosecution and the investigation stages.
