Religious police in Saudi Arabia arrest mother for sitting with a man - Times Online:
"A 37-year-old American businesswoman and married mother of three is seeking justice after she was thrown in jail by Saudi Arabia's religious police for sitting with a male colleague at a Starbucks coffee shop in Riyadh.
Yara, who does not want her last name published for fear of retribution, was bruised and crying when she was freed from a day in prison after she was strip-searched, threatened and forced to sign false confessions by the Kingdom's “Mutaween” police."
But was she "water-boarded"? Inquiring minds need to know.
This is simply absurd - Starbucks should close all it's franchises over there in protest - but they won't.
