For her work on a controversial Arabic-language TV show that aired an episode in which a man bragged about his sex life, a Saudi court sentenced a female journalist Saturday to 60 lashes.

According to a Saudi Information Ministry official who could not be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media, the court in Jeddah also imposed a two-year travel ban on Rosanna Al-Yami. The ban prevents her from traveling outside Saudi Arabia.

This official identified Al-Yami as a fixer, who helps journalists obtain stories, and a coordinator for Lebanese Broadcasting Corp., the network that aired “A Thick Red Line,” a popular show on social taboos.

A Saudi man, Mazen Abdul Jawad, bragged about sex on one episode and got into trouble with Saudi authorities for his boasts. Abdul Jawad was put on trial and sentenced to five years in prison and 1,000 lashes.
