Saudi Arabia Cracking Down?

According to Amnesty International, Saudi Arabia is trying to prevent pro-democracy protests by its citizens. Proposed anti-terrorist legislation would subject such protestors to 10 years in jail.



           Crown-ing Touch

Saudi Arabia is said to be bent
On curbing attempts by folks to dissent.
It seems that out of some sort of frustration,
Officials are pushing some new legislation.
It’s said that the government’s immediate mission
Is to end what it calls terroristic sedition.
Bottom line, it would seem, is that this is the thing:
Jail awaits those who would question the king.
