15 years in prison + 1500 lashes!!!!

An Egyptian doctor Raouf Amin was sentenced to 15 years in prison and 1,500 lashes (70 lashes per week) in Saudi Arabia for malpractice. He was found guilty of driving a Saudi princess to addiction when he worked as the family’s personal doctor in Jeddah.
He was given his first 70 lashes last week and will get 70 more this week.

OMG it is not 50 or 100 or 200 but 1500 lashes ... What a horrible and cruel justice!

That is disgusting. ofcourse neither Egypt or Saudi lawyers can do anything about it. Just another case of human rights violation in KSA.

Is he really guilty? if so then .. i don't know if it is too much ? the only problem i can see is wither he was really guilty or not, and wither this sentence was issued because of driving a Saudi "princess", not a normal person :)
