Saudi Arabia now tracking women like cattle
http://j.mp/UVP7cP (Raw Story)
"Denied the right to travel without consent from their male guardians
and banned from driving, women in Saudi Arabia are now monitored by an
electronic system that tracks any cross-border movements. Since last
week, Saudi women's male guardians began receiving text messages on
their phones informing them when women under their custody leave the
country, even if they are travelling together."
