"Men, fathers and sons are supporting the movement!"
UK BANNED Press TV: Saudi officials have
warned online activists against supporting a planned protest by women
challenging the kingdom’s male-only driving rules.
The cyber-dissident law "will be applied against violators" while other measures will be taken against "those who gather to support" the planned protest, Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman, Turki al-Faisal, said on Friday.
The Internet has been playing a key role in arranging women’s demonstrations in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
And now, the Saudi Interior Ministry says it will use cyber-laws against anyone supporting the protest.
The warning from the Saudi regime comes on the eve of the planned protest by Saudi women activists who have obtained their driver's licenses abroad, and widens the possible fallout from the expected campaign.
The women plan to get behind the wheel in defiance of the driving bans that are enforced by Saudi clerics despite the lack of any specific Saudi law.
On Wednesday, Faisal had warned of police crackdowns against "disturbing public order."
