Saudi Democracy

An American businesswoman named Yara (she is withholding her last name) was arrested, strip searched and forced to sign a false confession after she was captured in the act of sitting with a male at a Starbucks in Riyadh.

Ironically, Yara had just been at the Starbucks with Neil Bush, President George W. Bush’s younger brother and CEO of the education software company Ignite! and even boasted about Saudi justice. She is a managing partner at a Saudi financial company, but it did not help her when she was spotted by the Saudi “Mutaween” police.

Let’s see where this one goes. I'm guessing the police didn't recognize the Bush.


Update: 2/9/08

A thousand apologies. I read that as being she was arrested with Neil Bush. The story is that she was there earlier with Neil Bush. She was arrested while sitting with a different guy.
