Saudi Arabia: Investigation of a Citizen for Causing His Children to Drop Out of Education

The Public Prosecution in Saudi Arabia announced that it has started an investigation into a citizen who caused his children to drop out of education and is working to reinstate them in school. The Family and Juvenile Prosecution has initiated its investigations with the citizen accused of neglecting his duties and obligations towards his three children, aged between 7 and 11 years. He is alleged to have deliberately caused their interruption from education and prevented them from attending school without a legal justification, resulting in their delay in accessing education and causing them severe psychological harm. The Public Prosecution has directed the relevant authorities to take necessary legal action to return the children to school and to implement protective measures for them. The Public Prosecution emphasized its commitment to protecting children's rights and holding accountable anyone who violates these rights, noting that addressing such behaviors is a fundamental element in achieving social justice.
