13-9-2019
Preparations are ongoing in Saudi Arabia for the first female military parade in the history of the Kingdom in the framework of the projected Saudi National Day, Al Diyar reported today citing Saudi newspapers. Sabaq newspaper pointed out that the procession will take place at local women’s exhibition centers, schools and within official national celebrations. The men’s military parade will be held in concert halls for families and men. On the subject, the information officer of the female team, Mawada Ahmad Mohamadi, said, “watching the military parade is highly desirable, by both men and women. And as it is familiar among men, we decided to disseminate it among the female community to display the appearance of the soldier at the national women’s festivities.” In another development, a French court convicted yesterday the sister of Saudi Crown Prince, Princess Hassa Bint Salman, with complicity in beating and humiliating a worker, sentencing her to 10 years in prison with suspension and a fine of 10,000 euros. Her bodyguard was handed an 8-month suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay 5,000 euros. The case goes back to September 26, 2016, when the Princess reportedly ordered her personal guard to taunt and beat a local craftsperson who was renovating her Paris apartment after she accused him of snatching photos of her. The worker stressed the photos he had taken were for the repair works. (Al Diyar, September 13, 2019)
