Lagu
menyindir yang Virus . . .
Arab menyindir YouTube penyesuaian terkenal lagu Bob
Marley telah pergi dalam talian virus dengan lebih daripada 2.5 juta tontonan
dalam masa 2 hari
“No Woman , No Drive,” yang diilhamkan oleh Marley “No
Woman, No Cry,” dicatatkan oleh 3 SAUDi yang mengatakan bahawa pengalaman
mereka di Barat mempengaruhi mereka untuk tampil dengan sambutan menyindir untuk
pertempuran yang berterusan.
“Saya seorang artis dan aktivis sosial. Saya tidak mendengar
muzik, tetapi ketika belajar di Amerika Syarikat saya mendengar lagu ini dengan
lelaki Jamaica yang menarik perhatian saya. Saya memutuskan untuk melakukan
rendition saya sendiri, dengan lirik yang berkaitan dengan budaya saya, “Hisham
Fageeh, yang dikenali dalam web berbahasa Arab untuk video YouTube beliau.
Ungkapan seperti “ova - ovari semua selamat dan
baik, supaya anda boleh membuat banyak dan banyak bayi,” dan " anda boleh
memasak makan malam untuk saya malam ini” muncul kepada wanita merendahkan, walaupun
hasratnya mungkin ironis.
Penonton yang kebanyakannya ditemui video lucu mata

Satirical
song goes Viral . . .
A satirical YouTube Saudi adaptation of a famous Bob
Marley song has gone viral online with over 2.5 million views in two days
“No Woman, No Drive,” inspired by Marley's "No
Woman, No Cry," was recorded by three Saudis who say that their experience
in the West influenced them to come up with the satirical response to the
ongoing battle.
“I’m an artist and social activist. I don’t really
listen to music, but while studying in the US I heard this song by this
Jamaican guy that caught my attention. I decided to do my own rendition; with
lyrics relevant to my culture,” Hisham Fageeh, known in the Arabic-speaking web

SitiWanMahani - Jika wanita Arab menentang larangan untuk belakang
roda pada hari Sabtu, mereka akan dihukum, kerajaan telah memberi amaran.
Walaupun undang-undang tidak jelas melarang wanita
daripada memandu, mereka tidak dikeluarkan lesen. Kingdom adalah satu-satunya
negara di dunia yang tidak membenarkan wanita di belakang roda.
Kempen yang dikenali sebagai 26 Oktober ‘Women2Drive
(october26driving.com) kepada wanita yang mempunyai lesen memandu antarabangsa
untuk meneruskan hasrat mereka untuk memandu, tetapi tidak untuk membuat 26
Oktober tarikh yang simbolik, yang menyatakan bahawa ada wanita yang telah mula
untuk memandu sebelum hari Sabtu. Perubahan tack datang selepas beberapa
aktivis menerima panggilan daripada Kementerian Dalam Negeri mengingatkan
mereka bahawa wanita di Arab Saudi telah dilarang daripada memandu.
Ia akan menandakan bantahan ke-3 itu sejak tahun
1990. Tindakan sebelumnya membawa kepada tangkapan bagi kesalahan ketenteraman
awam dan demoralisation, penjara dan beberapa wanita kehilangan pekerjaan
mereka.
Kali ini wanita telah mengambil kempen mereka dalam
talian untuk mendapatkan sokongan media, menyiarkan video di rangkaian sosial
dan YouTube. Sesuatu petisyen dalam talian yang dikumpul sekurang-kurangnya
16,000 tandatangan sebelum laman itu disekat 2 minggu lalu.
Kempen ini telah reignited perdebatan umum mengenai
larangan itu. Ketua polis agama berkata tidak ada undang-undang yang melarang
wanita daripada memandu. Walau bagaimanapun, hanya satu bulan yang lalu ulama
Sheikh Saleh al-Lohaidan berkata memandu ovari wanita yang rosak.
Pada 23 Oktober, 150 ulama konservatif membantah di
luar istana raja di Jeddah terhadap apa yang mereka lihat sebagai ‘kebaratan’ dan
konspirasi wanita memandu, mendakwa Amerika Syarikat berada di belakang kempen.
Arab Saudi, nota Human Rights Watch, merawat wanita
bawah umur undang-undang, “yang tidak boleh menjalankan rasmi kerajaan,
perjalanan perniagaan di luar negara, berkahwin, melanjutkan pelajaran yang
lebih tinggi, atau menjalani prosedur perubatan tertentu tanpa mendapat
kebenaran daripada manusia.”
Saudi Government
Warns Women not to defy driving ‘ban’
If Saudi women defy a ban to get behind the wheel on
Saturday, they will be punished, the government has warned.
Though laws do not explicitly forbid women from
driving, they are not issued licenses. The Kingdom is the only country in the
world not to allow women behind the wheel.
The campaign known as October 26 'Women2Drive'
(october26driving.com) told women with international driving licences to
continue with their intention to drive, but not to make October 26 a symbolic
date, stating that some women had already begun to drive before Saturday. The
change of tack came after several activists received calls from the Interior
Ministry reminding them that women in Saudia Arabia were forbidden from
driving.
It would mark the third such protest since 1990.
Previous actions led to arrests for public order offences and demoralisation,
imprisonment and some women lost their jobs.
This time women have taken their campaign online to
garner media support, posting videos on social networks and YouTube. An online
petition collected at least 16,000 signatures before the site was blocked two
weeks ago.
The campaign has reignited public debate on the ban.
The head of the religious police said there was no law forbidding women from
driving. However, just one month ago cleric Sheikh Saleh al-Lohaidan said that
driving damaged womens' ovaries.
On October 23, 150 conservative clerics protested
outside the king's palace in Jeddah against what they saw as 'Westernisation'
and the 'conspiracy of women driving', claiming the US was behind the campaign.
Saudi Arabia, Human Rights Watch notes, treats women
as legal minors, "who cannot conduct official government business, travel abroad,
marry, pursue higher education, or undergo certain medical procedures without
permission from men."
