And I suppose if it was the other way around they'd let a western child molester go free.

I guess this sort of thing is common place in uncivilised countries, so the westerner wouldn't get arrested to start with.

A SAUDI embassy official alleged to have indecently assaulted a girl aged 11 at a London party will be sent home in disgrace despite a plea for him to be investigated here.

Hang on, we don't know if he's free yet. Sure he's not going to be prosecuted by British Law, but its going to be investigated by the Saudi's and if found to be true, he'll face their penalty, which happens to be decapitation. Now, how many people on here have been screaming for pedos to get that? Here's one that might actually have it happen, yet still you moan.

Diplomatic immunity?

Diplomatic immunity protects him against prosecution by our laws, but his own government is free to punish him as it sees fit.

For example, if I were a UK diplomat and raped someone in another country, I would be protected against prosecution by that country, however, I would be brought back to the UK and charged with rape as if the crime had happened here. Of course, not all countries do this (although I believe the UK does).

Me neither earlier but it's fine again now

A worker at the Saudi Embassy said: †œIf he was married and committed a sexual act with a child and there were four witnesses then he could be stoned to death, but if he was not married he could get 100 lashes.ââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚ÂÂÂ� But, because of his familyââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s connections, it it is unlikely that he will face any severe punishment, just disgrace in the diplomatic community, although he may be detained for a short period by Interior Ministry officials, who deal with interrogation.

So we don't know what's going to happen, but we know the possible punishments that await him.

There is a difference between "will not" and "may not"
If they let him go then I will condemn them, until then it's like saying "the police have arrested someone but they might let him go"

And would you like to face Saudi interigators? Isn't someone often posting about how amnesty international keeps condeming their techniques?

oh come off it, they will let him go, he has immunity here, so basically when he goes back to saudi they will proberbly let him go because of his status.
