The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (Haia) employees who had been relocated and assigned administrative duties for reportedly assaulting a British resident and his Saudi wife have filed a lawsuit against the commission for what they say is unfair disciplinary transfer.
Local media has quoted sources as saying that the four members have refused to relocate and that they were still reporting for work at their offices.
The Haia had swiftly announced the results of the probe following the incident.
The commission had asserted that four of its employees assaulted a British citizen and his wife verbally and physically and had been transferred outside of Riyadh.
The commission also found the four members guilty of lying and distorting the story by denying that they were the ones in the video clip went viral on social media sites.
The members had also made contradictory statements over who was the supervisor and which member had dealt directly with the British man.
Investigation later revealed that it was the field supervisor who had attacked the man.
The commission had sent a formal apology to the man and his wife after the inquiry was completed.
