Woman Released After Being Arrested For Wearing Miniskirt In Saudi Arabia

A woman who was arrested and detained by the Police in Saudi Arabia for wearing a miniskirt in a trending video shared online has been released.


She was filmed wearing a miniskirt and a crop-top as she strolled through a street (with no one) in a city in Saudi Arabia, the Ridayh police said. 

The woman told investigators that the viral video was published on social media without her knowledge.

She has now been released without a charge and the prosecutor's case closed, following an outrage sparked online, Drinosblog reports.

Saudi Arabia requires all women, including foreigners - Muslims and non-Muslims - to wear a loose gown, but the law was clearly not followed in the video.
