Saudi Arabia uses a system to inform people of the location of their women
·
Since last week, the agency responsible for a woman male supervisor will automatically get an SMS, leave Saudi Arabia if they want. Noticeable was the new monitoring method because a husband during the joint leaving his wife a text message on your mobile phone by the Immigration Department received: His wife just trying to leave the country at the airport Riyadh. A wider audience tracking female "protection Commanded" Manal al-Sharif made via Twitter. The Saudi IT consultant had to be allowed to drive the 2011 campaign "Women2Drive" initiated for the right, in Saudi Arabia as a woman's car.
Behind the SMS according to al-Sharif lies an automated messaging system that registers border crossings female citizen and automatically sent a message to her legal male guardian. Without their consent, usually the father, brother or husband, women must not leave the country. As a reason for the new monitoring methodology, the escape of a Saudi Arabian to Sweden and their alleged conversion to Christianity is suspected.
Criticism reaped the actions of the authorities, especially via Twitter. The short message service has established itself as a medium for news dissemination in dictatorships - and enjoyed the end of 2011 of a 300-million-dollar investments of the Saudi billionaire Alwaleed bin Talal. This should now correspond to a market capitalization of $ 8 billion.
