Woman fired over mobile snapshots

A Saudi woman has been expelled from her university for taking pictures of unveiled colleagues with a camera-equipped mobile phone osting them on the Internet, according to iafrica.com.

"The unnamed student in Dammam had taken pictures of colleagues "not wearing the abaya (long black robe) and with their heads uncovered, publishing them through an internet website" and prompting complaints from parents.
More than 50 other students at the same female university are being investigated for carrying the banned mobiles".
