In my country, there was a humourous show in which policemen were called by a woman because her husnabd was violant and raped her. As they came at the woman's home, they saw the violent man and he threatened them.
So the "hilarious" concluding was this : we saw the policemen bringing the woman to jail, the woman having to justify herself before the law of her rape ....
That was hilarious, because it was made just ten years ago ...
What about todays?
Yes John, I think you are right. The sad thing is that KSA is supported by Western governments.
