Saudi Arabia 'may jail woman who posted video of husband groping housemaid'

[Deleted]

pointing out that the UAE is an extremely egregious and aggressive human rights violator, that treats their feminine population worse than anyone else on earth IS NOT NATION BASHING.

Uhh baad hyperbole...
the world is a dark place my friend.

I don't think you would want respective examples?

[Emageht Tsoluoy]

What does the UAE have to do with this?

its not the United Arab Emirates, of which Saudi Arabia is part, that has this problem treating women like shit?

or is this particular problem somehow newly specific to Saudi Arabia, exclusively?

[Azadina]

No it isn't. It has to be "kränkande" for it to be illegal. Such as someone recording you naked in the shower against your permission. That someone doesn't like that they were recorded isn't enough.

Umm...Honestly, I don't think it's legal for anyone to film me in my own apartment, and upload it to internet. Naked in shower or not. This is private place, not public

Saudi Arabia is not a part of the UAE...2 separate countries...

If you don't tell them to stop you can't do anything about it after it gets published, unless it's "kränkande". They can record through your window if they wanted to, still wouldn't be illegal unless you told them to stop it.

Geography of the middle east is lost on most people I would assume.

i get the two confused. so sue me.

[Dsonsion]

They don't execute her I guess?

This is some progress, I guess.

[Emageht Tsoluoy]

Kids, don't skip geography lessons.

i honestly do not care enough about the "middle east" to memorize new geographical information every 15 years.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Idontgiveafuckistan, whatever.

the entire region has a cultural predilection for treating everyone except those with a penis, as property they are free to abuse without consequence.

Don't act like you know everything then when you don't even know such a basic thing.

You probably shouldn't bother yourself with this. It's a different country, on a different continent with extremely different ways of life. Thinking you can change their way of life is a waste of time.

I mean I lived there. So I wish they would change their ways. But I know how fanatic Muslims are like 'cause I had a "phase" like that along with my family. My family is stuck on it while I didn't get stuck... But I go back and forth which sucks big time and I can't control it any more. I feel like religion is the biggest contributor to mental illness... Or it should be and it should be abolished for eternity so more people born in this world don't get subjected to this kind of idiocy. That's just my opinion though.

Looking into it now, since it's a pretty standard western law concerning privacy rights. So far I found this, but am looking further: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/C...rements#Sweden

And this: Sweden makes it illegal to take pictures in private environments without consent

The law concerns filming people that are unaware of it taking place that are "kränkande". Not filming that they know is taking place.

This is something so elemental that you should not have any issues memorizing it. Just shows your ignorance.

You could start by learning that Afghanistan and other "stans" are not part of the Middle East. The rest of the homework I'll leave for you, though.

Good luck to them trying It's 5th floor ^^ Anyways, how would I tell you to stop, if I haven't noticed you filming me? Still my fault?

[Deleted]

The "krankande" is only about pictures taken in public.

No, it isn't.

it is not hyperbole when the government is the gorilla enforcer of this bullshit.

Bus full of men gangrape a woman on the same bus?
Obviously it was the woman's fault for showing her ankle.
The men couldn't help themselves!
They are totally innocent because the woman is an ankle-showing slut that is garbage, and should be thrown in jail for manipulating men into raping her.


This is the fucking logic of that entire area.

Fuck that entire area.

I hope one day they can lift themselves out of the shit-pit they are wallowing in, but i won't hold my breath in anticipation of it happening.

"that treats their feminine population worse than anyone else on earth "

The world is dark and full of terrors.

saudi arabia, head of the UN human rights comitty... its ridiculous and definate proof the UN are a joke.

There seems a neverending supply of farcical twists in this world it seems.. if religion wasnt at base for ludicrousness such as this I'd turn religious.

So, here's the relevant part of the penal code:

6 a § Den som olovligen med tekniskt hjälpmedel i hemlighet
tar upp bild av någon som befinner sig inomhus i en bostad
eller på en toalett, i ett omklädningsrum eller ett annat
liknande utrymme, döms för kränkande fotografering till böter
eller fängelse i högst två år.

Which basically translates to:

The one that without consent uses technical aids to in secrecy take a picture of someone who resides inside a home or in a toilet, a changing room or other rooms like it, will be sentenced for "kränkande fotografering" to fines or prison for two years at most.

You can record people if they're aware of it, without their consent.

So, stop spouting bullshit, Anarchist. If it's defensible to record it due to circumstances, you won't be held responsible either.
