Saudi Arabia Bans Women From The Park
HAVING banned men from walking cats in attempts to seduce women, Saudi Arabia’s esteemed Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has decided it is time to stop women entering park zones and shut down the women-only park:
The Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice closed down the only women’s park in Yanbu on Thursday. The move resulted in the loss of 60 jobs for local women, Al-Watan newspaper reported yesterday.
Suleiman Al-Hamadi, vice chairman of the commission’s Yanbu branch, said the reason for the closure was complaints by people in nearby houses that they were disturbed by the sound of music from the facility. “The commission closed the park with the permission of the local administrator as it received many complaints from local residents about loud music and singing from there,” Al-Hamadi said.
Singing. Music. Bring back the cats:
Local women frequented the facility, as it provided health and sports clubs meant exclusively for women.
Shaimah Al-Anazi, owner of the entertainment facility, told the daily that several policemen ordered women and children visitors out from the park and closed the facility without giving any reason for their act.
Maybe the cops just wanted to meet women?
