11 persons sentenced to 300 lashes for holding drunken beach party

The sentence also include a jail term not more than one year.

The group made of six women and five men held a drunken party in Saudi Arabia, and neighbours reported them.

They were charged with “obscenity” after police found alcohol and indecent pictures during a raid on a villa in the city of Jedda.

Saudi Arabia has some of the strictest islamic laws in the world, Dailymail reports.

There, women are not allowed to mingle with men unless they are related.

The group were first given jail sentences ranging from eight days to a year and 150 lashes.

Their prison terms and flogging sentence were raised after their appeal failed..
