The Friday Mail on Thursday :-)

Today, on the 15th anniversary of Nelson Mandela's release
from Robben Island prison, came a timely reminder of the
sacredness of freedom.

A team of researchers from the Universities of Riyadh has
accidentally succeeded in scientifically proving that all
people everywhere, including women (obviously), have a basic
human right to live in freedom and democracy, free of
political and ideological oppression. This is particularly
ironic, as the research was carried out in one of the only
countries to behead people for something as trivial as
selling drugs, and was indeed originally aimed at proving
that this punishment was morally justified. Instead, as so
often happens, the researchers ended up proving something
quite different.

"This is obviously slightly uncomfortable for us,
ideologically speaking," said Ibrahim al-Backwardi, chair of
the Saudi Kingdom's Islamic Repression Taskforce (SKIRT)
when questioned about the research, before adding "Look
behind you! Look, over there! Quick, you're gonna miss it!"
and legging it out of a side door, obviously keen to fit in
some more women repression before teatime.

The Saudi High-Commission for the Intimidation of Teachers,
and Bounding And Gagging of Students (SHITBAGS) were also
slightly embarrassed at how they managed to let this
research be published, simply noting darkly that their
weekly order of gags and nail-tearing-out equipment had been
late last week.

Meanwhile, in the nearby Islamic Republic of Iran, reporters
were unable to secure an interview with any mullah from the
Ministry of Population Repression (PR), although they did
issue a press release which read :

"The Iranian Ministry of PR denounces the so-called research
as the work of The Great Satan, the United States of
America, and its agents of evil, all of whom will perish in
an eternal pit of fiery damnation."

I dunno, one disappears for a year or two, and by the time
one resurfaces you're all talking in code(!) :-)
