Father's refusal to sign paper keeps son in jail



Dubai, July 6 (IANS) An Indian accountant is languishing in a Saudi Arabian jail after his father refused to sign a paper saying his son would not repeat the crime.

Shuhaib Chaudhury, who is in a Jeddah jail in connection with a road accident in which one person was killed, can go free if his father signs the relevant document.

According to a report in the Arab News newspaper, Chaudhury was pardoned under a royal amnesty granted in June, which has set thousands of prisoners free.

According to the report, the Riyadh-based company in which Chaudhury was working as an accountant, wanted his father to give a written pledge to Saudi police that his son would not repeat the mistake in the future.

In March 2004, Chaudhury, driving a car he did not own, had hit an Egyptian national on a bike in Riyadh. The Egyptian later died of injuries at a Cairo hospital.

He was imprisoned and required to pay 100,000 Saudi riyals in blood money to the relatives of the deceased. The money was paid as part of the amnesty by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, paving the way for Chaudhury's release.

The Arab News report quoted a social worker as saying that Chaudhury's father has declined to give the written pledge as he was not sure that his son would not repeat the mistake.

Hundreds of prisoners, who were held for violating public and private rights and committing other minor crimes, have been set free in recent days following the June 10 amnesty.

The report quoted Gen. Ahmad Al-Zahrani, director of prisons in Jeddah, as saying that those freed include both Saudis and non-Saudis.

There are around 1.5 million Indians in Saudi Arabia.

The prisoners, according to the report, were being released after carefully scrutiny of their files by prison, police and prosecuting officials.
