The Saudi teenager escapes the death penalty, gets so many years in prison

Qureiris will be counted as serving sentence and time spent in custody since 2014. Otherwise, the last four years of sentence will be paroled, which means he will remain in prison for only three years.

A Saudi official who spoke on condition of anonymity for the agency “Reuters” confirmed his years of detention for the boy.
