Crown Prince Salman creates new unit to combat immorality

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has created a new police unit to monitor and address "immoral activities" in Saudi Arabia. This unit has arrested over 50 individuals, including 11 women for prostitution, marking the first public acknowledgment of such activities in over a decade. The new unit, part of the Ministry of Interior, aims to enhance community security and combat human trafficking. It comes as the Saudi government relaxes some social regulations, following a previous reduction in the powers of the religious police force in 2016. The establishment of this unit responds to rising concerns about morality violations, particularly with advertisements for such activities appearing on social media. Public reaction has been mixed, with some supporting the crackdown on human trafficking and related issues.
