Defends Smartphone App Allowing Men
to Monitor Women Relatives < >
Saudi Arabia defended a smartphone app Saturday which allows men to track women’s movements and potentially “stop them leaving the country.”
The Absher app provides services for “all members of the society… including women, the elderly, and people with special needs”, the interior ministry said.
The government’s claim that the app is a harmless piece of freely available software runs counter to its many critics both inside and outside the strict Islamic kingdom.
