لم يعد هناك في المملكة العربية السعودية اليوم من يُسجن بسبب فاتورة كهرباء، أو حتى مطالبات مالية بسيطة. هذا ليس استنتاجاً، بل حقيقة نظامية موثّقة، وتحوّل جذري تبنّته الدولة عبر أنظمتها القضائية والتنفيذية، لتجعل من العدالة أداة إصلاح لا أداة تقييد.
لكن ما يثير القلق اليوم هو أن بعض حسابات التواصل الاجتماعي أعادت تصنيع صور السجن من بوابة الشفقة. يُعرض رابط تبرع، تُرفق به قصة موجعة عن «عائل مسجون» بسبب مبلغ زهيد، وتُنسج رواية عاطفية تُعيدنا إلى مرحلة لم يعد لها وجود في نظامنا القضائي الحديث.
والأخطر من ذلك أن هذه الحملات تخفي حقيقتين:
الأولى: أن كثيراً من تلك الحالات لا يُعرف إن كانت حقيقية أو مُختلقة، ولا تمر عبر جهات رسمية تُوثق الحاجة.
والثانية: أن الدولة -مشكورة- أنشأت منصات رسمية مثل «فُرجت»، «إحسان»، و«ساهم»، بإشراف مباشر من جهات موثوقة وقضائية، تضمن أن كل ريال يصل إلى مستحقه، دون أن يُقتطع منه شيء، ودون أن يستغل في عمليات احتيال.
العدالة عندنا لم تعد تعتمد أسلوب «الردع بالسجن» في القضايا المالية، بل أصبحت تسلك مساراً أكثر توازناً، يمسك العصا من المنتصف، فيحفظ للمتضرر حقه دون أن يقيد الطرف الآخر اقتصادياً أو اجتماعياً. هذا تطور لا تملكه كثير من الأنظمة، ويُفترض أن نُفاخر به لا أن يُخترق بحملات عاطفية مشبوهة.
إن من يطلب التبرعات المالية اليوم عبر روابط شخصية أو غير موثقة، دون المرور بمنصات الدولة، لا يمارس الإحسان، بل يهدد الثقة الوطنية في النظام المالي والعدلي.
ومن يُروّج لمعلومة مغلوطة بأن الناس ما زالوا يُسجنون بسبب الفواتير، فإنه لا ينشر فقط كذباً، بل يشوّه المنجزات.
لذلك، فإن من واجبنا كمواطنين، وفاعلين في الوعي العام، أن نُعيد تعريف الشفقة في مجتمعنا: الشفقة ليست أن تتبرع في الظل، بل أن تحمي المتبرَّع له من الاحتيال.
وأن نقول بصوت واضح: العدالة في المملكة لا تحتاج الأصفاد، بل تحتاج وعينا بها.

There are no longer any individuals imprisoned in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today due to an electricity bill, or even for minor financial claims. This is not a conclusion, but a documented legal fact, and a radical transformation adopted by the state through its judicial and executive systems, making justice a tool for reform rather than a tool for restriction.
However, what raises concern today is that some social media accounts have begun to recreate images of imprisonment through the lens of pity. A donation link is presented, accompanied by a painful story about a "breadwinner imprisoned" over a meager amount, weaving an emotional narrative that takes us back to a stage that no longer exists in our modern judicial system.
What is more dangerous is that these campaigns conceal two realities:
The first: Many of these cases are unknown whether they are real or fabricated, and they do not go through official channels that document the need.
The second: The state - thank you - has established official platforms such as "Furjat," "Ehsan," and "Saham," under the direct supervision of trusted and judicial entities, ensuring that every riyal reaches its rightful owner, without any deductions, and without being exploited in fraudulent operations.
Justice in our country no longer relies on the method of "deterrence through imprisonment" in financial cases, but has taken a more balanced path, holding the middle ground, preserving the rights of the harmed without economically or socially restricting the other party. This is a development that many systems do not possess, and we should take pride in it rather than allowing it to be undermined by dubious emotional campaigns.
Those who seek financial donations today through personal or unverified links, without going through state platforms, are not practicing charity; they are threatening national trust in the financial and judicial system.
And those who promote the false information that people are still imprisoned due to bills are not only spreading lies but also distorting achievements.
Therefore, it is our duty as citizens and active participants in public awareness to redefine pity in our society: pity is not about donating in the shadows, but about protecting the recipient from fraud.
And we must say clearly: justice in the Kingdom does not need shackles; it needs our awareness of it.
