A religious scholar in the employ of the state issued a fatwa for the prosecution of a royal prince and a Saudi businessman for owning TV channels that broadcast movies. Six months ago the former head of the kingdom™s highest tribunal said it was legal to kill the owners of satellite TV stations that broadcast ‘immoral’ programs.
