Saudi Arabia is a medieval, barbaric state by any objective assessment.
Yes, there are horror stories all around the world. Some get reported and others don't. What I would consider a healthy attitude is to refrain from generalizing and unnecessarily bashing.

A couple of FTers who lived there addressed the question raised here with objectively and no "warnings" given whatsoever.

I can only sympathize with you if one of your dear ones of friends were among those suffered in the indecent you referenced.
