A Saudi Arabian website shared a document allegedly issued by an all female university warning them to not “hug” each other or they would face being transferred to a mental examination by the school. The document also states that al-Baha University, located in the south of the ultra-conservative Kingdom, will force female students who violate the rule and hug each other to take religious studies all year around, to “amend” their behavior. A strong online reaction lashed out at the university, with commentators accusing the university of being obsessed with sex. An online hashtag was created to respond to the document, denouncing the extreme decree. The university has not commented on the document and Bikyanews.com awaits their reply to questions sent to them on Wednesday. Whether friendly embraces should be punished in a mental institution or not, the Saudi Kingdom is still far behind the rest of the world when to comes to personal and civil rights. Recently, the country allowed its female citizens to “ride bicycles” in public, as long as they are accompanied by a male guardian. Saudi women are also not allowed to drive their own cars and must rely on a man to get around. BN
