Saudis to lash Canadian teen, life spared
Sultan Kohail, 17, will also serve a year in prison; his older brother, Mohamed Kohail, 23, faces public beheading

MONTREAL–A Canadian teen charged in Saudi Arabia for the death of a man has reportedly been sentenced to one year in prison and 200 lashes.
Mahmoud Al-Ken, a reporter for a Montreal Arabic radio station, says the family of Sultan Kohail, told him the 17-year-old was sentenced earlier today.
Sultan and his brother Mohamed Kohail were detained in January 2007 after a schoolyard brawl in which a man died of internal injuries.
Mohamed Kohail, 23, was sentenced to death by public beheading.
Al-Ken says a different judge who presided over Sultan Kohail's trial permitted a "vigorous" cross-examination of the prosecution's witnesses, a key component he said Mohamed did not have in his case.
He says the family hopes the Saudi Arabian courts will allow a similar cross-examination for Mohamed Kohail's appeal.
The brothers maintain their innocence and both are appealing their sentences.
Al-Ken says the prosecutors asked for the death sentence in Sultan Kohail's case.
A third accused, a Jordanian national, was also sentenced to death.
Both brothers have been Canadian citizens since 2005 and lived in Montreal before returning to Saudi Arabia in 2006.
