Women in Saudi Arabia.
When I first heard the story of girls dying in a Saudi school because the "mutawwain" [ the religious police] wouldn't let school-girls escape a burning building, because they were not properly attired in the customary cover everything black robes, I was to say the least sceptical. But to my horror I came across this article.

If this was any other country, would we have invited their head of state to stay at Buckingham Palace? I very much doubt it.
