- A 33-year-old citizen has spent the past eight years in jail as he is
unable to pay the blood money set for causing a traffic accident that
killed 17 Bangladeshi nationals.
Mamdouh Al-Tuloohi has to pay SR5.1 million before he can be released from prison, Al-Hayat daily reported.
Neither he nor his family can afford to pay the blood money and they
have been asking for the assistance of philanthropists, but the amount
they have collected is barely enough.
Mansour, a relative of Mamdouh, said the case has become popular in social networking sites, even in the Gulf countries.
He added that this is God's wish and anyone could have been involved in
such an accident and that Al-Tuloohi is continuously concerned that his
mother will die before he is released from prison.
His parents are very old and find it very difficult to travel from their city to visit their son in prison.
Al-Tuloohi’s father said: "God Almighty has given us Mamdouh and I ask
God to bestow His mercy on us and release our son from prison.
"Mamdouh’s mother is continuously weeping and wishes to see her child before she dies."
Meanwhile, Riyadh governorate has set up an account to receive donations
for Mamdouh. The account, set up with Al-Rajhi Bank, has the number
101608010099990.
