In Saudi Arabia, as per the laws and regulations, every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
There are two essential rights provided to any person accused falsely, particularly for a crime like theft:
1. **Right to a Fair Trial**: Article 36 of the "Basic Law of Governance" of KSA stipulates that: "The State shall provide security for all citizens and residents on its territories. No one may be confined, arrested or imprisoned without reference to the Law."
2. **Right to Legal Representation**: Referring to 'The Law of Criminal Procedure' (Royal Decree No. M/39), Article 4 states that, "Any accused person shall have the right to seek the assistance of a lawyer or a representative to defend him during the investigation and trial stages."
If falsely accused, you should immediately contact a lawyer to discuss the matter and protect your rights. The lawyer will guide you through the process and help you present your defense.
Further, under ‘The Law of Criminal Procedure’ (Royal Decree No. M/39).
- Article 64 specifies, "The accused shall be presumed innocent until his guilt is proved before a competent court."
- Article 67 provides the accused the right to present evidence in his defence, and no one shall be convicted based on his own statements alone.
Thus, if the accusations against you do not have any solid proof, it stands in your favour during the trial.
Remember, it's the responsibility of the prosecution to establish your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. You should work with your lawyer to challenge the evidence (or lack thereof) presented against you.
All these comprehensive laws of Saudi Arabia ensure the protection of the rights of the person accused.
