When I heard the story of Princess Sahar of Saudi Arabia, the first thing I thought was, OMG, Princess Leia is real, but where are the Jedi???
Actually, there are four rebel princesses, currently imprisoned and being slowly starved to death by a father who makes Darth Vader seem like Dad of the Year.This petition has a very modest goal. I think it should get millions of signatures. I don't know what else can be done without the Rebel Alliance.
What.
I signed the petition but we do now have a thread for this sort of thing. I personally don't find their royal status important. They should be free regardless of who they are.
@TV's Frink: What do you mean, What.?
I'm drawing a parallel between fiction and reality....When I heard Princess Sahar's story, it immediately made me think of Princess Leia sending out her plea.
@ Bingowings: Thank you. And agreed, no-one should be imprisoned for their beliefs no matter who they are. I find their story interesting because they could have lived a life of luxury, if they'd kept their mouths shut to all the horrible things going on in the Kingdom, but they didn't...that kind of courage and conviction impresses me.
I'll make a post in the other thread next time, thanks for letting me know.
