( CNN ) -- A Saudi court that sentenced a journalist to 60 lashes for her work on a controversial television show has summoned a second woman affiliated with the TV station . The Saudi information ministry said Sunday that a Jeddah court has asked the second journalist to appear because of her work as a coordinator with the Lebanese Broadcasting Corp . The woman was set to appear on Monday , but the hearing has been postponed because she is ill , said a ministry official , who could not be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media . The show in question , `` A Thick Red Line , '' explores social taboos . In one episode , a Saudi man , Mazen Abdul Jawad , bragged about his sex life . Saudi authorities put him on trial and sentenced him to five years in prison and 1,000 lashes . Soon afterward , the court sentenced journalist Rosanna Al-Yami who worked as a coordinator and guest-booker for the show . In addition to the 60 lashes , Al-Yami is banned for two years from traveling outside Saudi Arabia . While the charges against her include involvement in preparing the program , she was not involved in setting up the episode in which Abdul Jawad appeared , said his lawyer Suleiman Al-Jumeii . Al-Jumeii said that Al-Yami has opted not to appeal the court 's verdict . Al-Jumeii does n't represent the journalist , but said he is keeping tabs on cases dealing with `` A Thick Red Line . '' The lawyer is attempting to pursue an appeal for his client and get his case heard in a special court that only deals with media matters . CNN has attempted to get comments from Al-Yami and her attorney . Abdul Jawad , 32 , an airline employee and divorced father of four , spoke openly on the show about his sexual escapades , his love of sex and losing his virginity at age 14 . That episode caused an uproar in deeply conservative Saudi Arabia , where sharia , or Islamic law , is practiced . Pre-marital sex is illegal , and unrelated men and women are not permitted to mingle . Saudi authorities shut down LBC offices in Jeddah and Riyadh after the interview aired a few months ago . Abdul Jawad was arrested shortly after the program aired and charged with violating Saudi Arabia 's crime of publicizing vice .
