Saudi Authorities Go After Twitter User for Women Drivers Threat

Saudi Arabia’s public prosecutor has issued an arrest warrant for a Twitter user who called for individuals who support women driving in the country to be killed. The user, who has not been named, reportedly referred to men who support women drivers as “cuckolds who should be killed.” His comments came days after a royal decree from King Salman ended a long-time ban on women driving, a move that prompted outrage among some Saudis. Another man is facing arrest after threatening to attack female drivers in a video clip posted online after the decree. The public prosecutor has vowed to monitor for such threats and take action against those who “incite attacks against society and violations of the rights of others.”
