Article 4 of the Saudi Ministers Trial Law

This article sets a penalty of imprisonment of 5 to 10 years for anyone who commits one of the following crimes, without prejudice to what any other law provides:

1. Plotting with a foreign state or contacting it to push it into aggression against the State's territory.
2. Carrying out acts, speeches, writings or other things with the intent of detaching part of the State's territory to annex it to a foreign state, or with the intent of granting it a right or privilege in it.
3. Providing housing, food or clothing to a soldier of the enemy or one of its spies, or facilitating the escape of a prisoner of war or of an interned enemy national.
4. Stealing items, documents or information related to the safety of the State for the benefit of a foreign state.

Note that the first and fourth items require a particular intent: pushing the foreign state into aggression, or the theft being for the benefit of a foreign state; the second item likewise requires the intent to detach territory or grant rights over it.

The important provision at the end of the article is that in a state of war these acts fall within paragraph (b) of Article 3, which is "assisting another state in hostile acts against the State", one of the acts that Article 3 counts as high treason. In other words, the characterization of the act changes depending on whether it occurs in peacetime or in war.

This is a general explanation of the text and not an opinion on a particular case; anyone who needs an assessment of a specific situation should consult a lawyer who specializes in criminal and administrative matters.
