The Presidency for the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (the Haia) said the man who recently appeared in a video clip beside one of the Haia's vehicles and launched a wave of threats against homo***uals and those who blackmail young women is **t one of its personnel. The Haia described the man as an impostor, Al-Hayat daily said. The Haia, through its spokesman Turki Al-Shelayyil, also said it will investigate and punish the person who arranged for the man to shoot video clips next to the Haia's vehicle. The video clip elicited a response from the commission's presidency as it contained words and insinuations that violate the regulations and policies of the Haia, specifically the principle of "promoting virtue and preventing vice".
