Egypt's labor minister, Aisha Abdel-Hadi, lifted the ban after assurances from the Saudi government that Egyptian doctors would get contracts guaranteeing treatment equal to that of their Saudi counterparts. The two Egyptian physicians were tried and found guilty of illegally selling pharmaceuticals in Saudi Arabia. One was also found guilty of having affairs with his patients. In addition to lashes, they were sentenced to 15 and 20 years in prison.
