Take that mingler!

Oh boy, laws are tough in Saudi Arabia (if you are a woman). Khamisa Sawadi,a 75 year granny, has been sentenced to 40 lashes and 4 months in the slammer for what was said to be “mingling” with two young men who were not her immediate relis.The two men were bringing her 5 loaves of bread when they were caught by the religious police. The two men, of which one was her late husband’s nephew, were also sentenced to prison and lashes. Ooh and guess who dobbed the old lady in ? Her nephew’s father that’s who. He accused her of corruption. Mrs Sawadi, who was Syrian born, will be deported after she completes her sentence. I am thinking that might be a good thing! Mrs Sawadi claimed during the trial  that her nephew was like a son to her and claimed she even breast fed him when he was a baby. Hmm, that didn’t help her one little bit! What Saudi Arabia needs are washing machines so these poor women can be liberated!!!!!!

Wait Just a Minute : Hmm,interesting, I went on the Amnesty International website to see if there was a helpful link for people who were outraged by this story and found this “Amnesty International does not currently have a presence in this country”.Eyebrow raise! So Wiki will have to do Human Rights in Saudi Arabia.
