Saudi Arabia announced on Friday that it was referring to the judiciary the case of a non-Muslim journalist being allowed entry to the holy city of Makkah and following paths reserved to Muslim worshippers.
A Makkah Region police spokesman said a Saudi citizen has been referred to the general prosecution for transporting and facilitating the entry of the American journalist to Makkah in violation of laws that explicitly prohibit the entry of non-Muslims to Makkah.
