The chief of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Madinah, Suleiman ibn Saleh Al-Tuwaijeri, has dismissed media reports of the heavy-handedness of certain commission members as unfounded and contrary to the facts. Al-Tuwaijeri made the comments while replying to questions directed at him at "the 18th Session of the Principals and Administrative Directors of Schools" at the College of Teachers in Madinah on Monday. "The reports about the commission in some newspapers are incorrect and lack credibility as they were quoting out of context and blowing things out of proportion in order to tarnish the image of the commission," he said. Al-Tuwaijeri said that the Kingdom's Shariah-based establishments such as the courts, the commission and educational institutions have always been targets of hostile propaganda and unfounded criticism.
