Spaniard pulls lecture in Saudi Arabia in protest after visiting female journalists were banned from attending

Spanish Justice Minister Juan Fernando Lopez Aguilar refused to deliver a lecture at a Saudi university after visiting female journalists were banned from attending.

The Spanish reporters were prevented from entering Al-Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University even though they were wearing the traditional abaya and veil, said Esther Bazan, one of the correspondents from SER radio. Saudi authorities said the university was all-male and women were not allowed.
