I can only imagine how awful it must be to live in a country like Saudi Arabia. I mean, men and women who aren’t married or related can’t even walk together somewhere without the virtue cops from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice hassling them, and they still kill people for witchcraft there. Even amusement parks aren’t off limits, as one Saudi couple found out. However, people are getting fed up with oppressive laws and are fighting back, in this case literally. After being questioned by a virtue cop, an unnamed Muslim woman attacked him, beating the cop so badly he had to be taken to the hospital for his bruising.
The woman and man, whose relationship remains unknown, were walking together in an amusement park in Hofuf Mubarraz, near the Persian Gulf. So far, police or vice police aren’t commenting about the attack. The woman could face lengthy jail time or a lashing in response to her physical response to the harassing cop, but the public is on her side. Girl power!
