Americans Trapped in Saudi Arabia: Who Will Move a Mountain?
Activity: Video Description: Americans Trapped in Saudi Arabia: Who Will Move a Mountain?
In 2002, the House Government Reform Committee conducted a series of hearings to expose the plight of American women and children trapped in Saudi Arabia due to a combination of the Saudi government's interpretation of Islamic law (sharia) and the U.S. government's indifference. The staff of the Committee created this video to give voice to the victims. It contains highlights of hearings and news clips about the Committee's investigation into international child abduction, kidnapping, oppression of women in Muslim countries, State Department policies, and the rights of American citizens living abroad to seek shelter in U.S. embassies.
