The drugs are the first cause of the crime, namely heinous crimes, thefts, and others. Our security men should redouble their efforts in their fight against the drugs and then come preventive judiciary rulings. Our courts have issued sentences that will be deterrent and will be implemented after approval by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah Ibn Abdulaziz Al Saud, who urges us on the speed of implementation of Sharia rulings. The State's bodies are for the service of all citizens and anyone residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia'.
