Saudi Presenter Flee After Investigation On Dress During Report On Female Drivin by ashacot: 2:25pm On Jun 28, 2018
A Saudi TV presenter has fled the kingdom after officials launched an investigation into claims she violated the country’s strict dress code.
Shereen Al-Rifaie is being investigated by the country’s General Commission for Audiovisual Media after she featured in a segment on the recent lifting of a decades-old ban on female drivers
In the video, she was deemed to be dressed ‘indecently’.

According to Saudi news website Ajel, Al-Rifaie fled the country after posting a photo of her passport to Snapchat. She told Ajel she did not think her clothes were indecent.
While foreigners are given some leeway when they visit the country, the dress code for Saudi nationals is governed by Sharia law and must be strictly complied with.


Traditionally, Saudi women must wear an abaya – a robe-like dress that covers the entire body – in public, along with a veil that covers the head and hair, but leaves the face visible.
In the clip, Al-Rifaie is wearing a white abaya, which is blown open by the wind to reveal white skinny jeans and a light-coloured top underneath. Her head is covered by a loose white scarf, but this is also blown around, and at one point she partially removes it to rearrange it.
While Saudi’s new crown prince, Prince Mohammad bin Salman, said in an interview with American news outlet CBS in March that women do not have to wear an abaya or cover their heads, merely dress in ‘decent, respectful attire’, it remains unclear if these statements signal a change in the enforcement of women’s dress code in the kingdom.

In a post on Twitter on Tuesday, the Commission said it was investigating the TV presenter over claims she was wearing ‘indecent clothing, in violation of regulations and instructions’.
According to Ajel, shortly after the announcement, Al-Rifaie posted an image of her passport and a plane ticket on Snapchat, accompanied by the phrase ‘I will entrust you to God’ – suggesting she has left the country.
Al-Rifaie was presenting a segment on the lifting of the decades-old ban on female drivers in the country, which came into effect on Sunday, and which many commentators viewed as heralding a period of greater freedom for women in the conservative gulf state.
Until Sunday, the kingdom was the only country on earth still enforcing such a ban.
Speaking to Ajel, Al-Rifaie said: ‘I was wearing decent clothes, and God will reveal the truth of what has been said about me.’

Their hypocrisy too much, them like sex die and patronize sex slaves yet they want to persecute an innocent woman.
Go to Victoria island and see how those Arab men devour pigs yet they claim eating pigs is haram.


The Islamic laws were stipulated to protect the kings of Saudi.
