And more from our Saudi allies..."I might not see my son again, cries Japanese mother"

It's not just Western women who suffer see their kids kidnpped by a Saudi father.

Again, from the Arab News, an excerpt:

Denied justice, unable to spend time with her son and frustrated by Saudi bureaucracy, Hiroe has returned to Japan, disappointed and heartbroken.

In April, Arab News reported the story of Hiroe, a Japanese woman, whose Saudi husband kidnapped their seven-year-old son two years ago, brought him to the Kingdom and divorced her without her knowledge. Since then she has had to fight for her right to enter the Kingdom and see her son.

Hiroe filed a lawsuit and since the Saudi courts would not grant her custody, her lawyer advised her to ask for the right to see her son and for financial compensation for the years she supported the family while it was living in Japan.
