Saudi police have released without charge a woman who was filmed in a miniskirt at a historic site in the country, the government said on Wednesday.
The ministry of information said police had released the woman on Tuesday night and the prosecutor had closed the case.
Police said Tuesday they were questioning the woman after she appeared in a series of videos, initially posted to messaging app Snapchat, wearing a crop top and a high-waisted miniskirt.
She had been filmed walking through the historic fort of Ushaiqer, north of Riyadh, and playing with sand in the dunes.
The videos were uploaded over the weekend to the "Model Khulood" Snapchat account.
The ministry said in a statement that the woman had confessed to walking through the site in a skirt with her hair uncovered but that the footage had been uploaded without her knowledge.
