Arab males IMO, must be cowards! Why else would they FEAR women!

Give the women the right you not their God.

Funny how most of the countries that advocate for human and women's rights still support these backward countries by buying huge amounts of oil from them with out a blink. stopsaudioil

'The Saudi authorities have done nothing to investigate serious allegations of torture, and now, it's the women's rights activists, not any torturers, who face criminal charges and trials.' Ironically, Saudi sits on the womans rights commission at the UN UN = zero credibility

Their trial is trial by beheading

Saudi can suck it!

Neanderthals with loads of money, barely made it past ape stage.
