The Supreme Judicial Council in Riyadh has ordered a Judge to stand trial for publishing tweets on the social networking site, Twitter, which is a violation of a royal decree and calls for investigation and trial. The source said that the council had referred Mohammad bin Abdullah Al-Shaim, a Judge in Riyadh's criminal court and former president of the general court in Sharura, to stand trial after he violated the royal decree which prohibits judges from appearing and participating in media events, or talking to media sources. The Judge published a number of tweets with religious content on his personal account on Twitter. The tweets were monitored by an investigation team following a collective decision by the council.
