Saudi Arabia’s Public Prosecution has issued a clarification on the Kingdom’s Wiretapping Law. Under the clarification, correspondence, letters, publications, parcels or phone conversations cannot be intercepted or monitored unless it is authorised by the Law and the Public Prosecution have given a warrant or permission in line with Article 57 of Saudi Arabia Cabinet Decision No. 200/1422 (the Criminal Procedure Law). Even in these circumstances, monitoring should only be carried out for up to ten days initially although this can be renewed and in connection with a crime which has actually occurred.
