More Fucked up Shit in Saudi Arabia

Sep. 2003: UK man describes being sentenced to “partial decapitation” and “public crucifixion” based on a torture-induced confession.
Feb. 2004: Saudi tourism website says it denies travel visas to “Jewish people.”
Nov. 2006: Saudi court sentences gang-rape victim to 90 lashes for being alone in a car with a man who was not her husband. Her sentence was later increased to 200 lashes and 6 months in jail before the King “pardoned” her (the conviction stood). Her lawyer’s license was suspended for “inflaming the media.”
Dec. 2007: “Dean of the Saudi bloggers” Fouad al-Farhan, a 32-year-old father of two, is arrested and held in solitary confinement after criticizing influential Saudi religious leaders (he’s still in prison).
Feb. 2008: United Nations says Saudi Arabia doesn’t allow women to marry, work, travel, or be educated without a man’s permission.
