RIYADH: The ministries of interior and justice and the Experts Commission in the Council of Ministers are studying a system for carrying out judicial verdicts at the Civil Rights administrations, Adel Al-Twaijri, adviser at the General Administration for Legal Affairs in Public Security, told Okaz/Saudi Gazette. The review is being conducted by a number of related authorities with the participation of specialist authorities, he said. Al-Twaijri said a specialist team has been working to address obstacles in the implementation of judicial verdicts in the Civil Rights administrations. It became clear that there were a large number of judicial verdicts requiring implementation and a shortage of employees to meet the needs, he said. He confirmed that errors, if any, are few and restricted to personal judgments or opinions due to a lack of experts. On Sunday, Lt. Gen. Sa'eed Bin Abdullah Al-Qahtani, Director of Public Security, inaugurated a four-day legal education forum, “The Tasks and Regulatory Jurisdictions for Civil Rights Administrations in Implementing Judicial Verdicts”. Maj. Gen. Mousa Al-Harbi, Director of the General Administration for Legal Affairs in Public Security, said the event in Riyadh focuses on creating awareness and enlightening staff in the Civil Rights administrations in the regions' police departments. He said this is one of the legal education programs being held and prepared by the General Administration. Prior to holding the forum, officials in the General Administration for Legal Affairs in Public Security visited a number of Civil Rights administrations in Public Security throughout the Kingdom on fact-finding trips, Maj. Gen. Al-Harbi added. Officials got acquainted with the nature of work and the gains of the Civil Rights administrations, discussed obstacles they face and reviewed their legal and procedural work, he said. He said the forum will include staff of the Civil Rights administrations in all the regions' police. He added that there is a plan to hold workshops and study circles this year to study judicial rules and regulations that will target Civil Rights administrations' staff. Those meetings will educate and enlighten the workers about being careful and not making mistakes concerning private rights that call for people being taken into custody.
