    Deprived of their basic needs, the four Saudi royal princesses kept in 13-year isolation by their father, King Abdullah, have surpassed 60 days without food.

    The monarch's daughters fell out of their father's favor for speaking out against the ill treatment of women in the Gulf kingdom. It is Also Believed That the King WAS Angry at the Girls' Mother for not Giving HIM A Son. Two of the princesses, Sahar and Jawaher, Say They are Being kept Against Their Will in two Mansions inside A royal compound in the city of Jeddah , along with their other two sisters - Maha and Hala. They say they have been deprived of food for over 60 days and have very little access to water. " It's A Situation horrible, it's forced famine A Basically. They are confining us, depriving us of food and water, freedom and rights. Struggling we are, we are Surviving, we are resisting, we are Trying our Best to Stay Alive, "the two Sisters Told RT Via Skype. " How can we Continue living like this? We have to Take the Risk of [speaking out]. " Having Spent so much time Deprived of freedom, They Struggle to Understand why They have Been Locked up. " The King and His Sons need to answer These Questions: What we are charged with ? What exactly is our crime? " " What is the crime of 99 percent of women in this country, who are basically suffering under male guardianship? A male guardian can do whatever he wants; he can cut off everything and she is left with nothing , "They Said on Behalf of the Citizens of the female ultraconservative Kingdom. " We are making These statements right now [in order to] Gain our Rights, our freedoms.

    It's weird to comprehend but women rights and emancipation are still empty sounds in some places...
    As far as I know, female circumcision is still practiced in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim states.
    But Mr.Obama just loves Saudi royal family, as Bush did, by the way.
    It's some mystical love that we mere mortals will never understand.

    i prefer to believe in unconditioned and unexplainable male love between those guys:)
    Oil and money sounds too dirty for such an important guys as US President and Saudi King are.

    I'm sure, we don't even imagine how many things in big politics are grounded on personal problems :)
