The Changing Socio-political Attitudes of Saudi Students Studying Overseas

"More interesting is that Saudis outside had more dissatisfaction about the Saudi legal
system as reflected in a huge gap of 72% compared to the Saudis inside the Kingdom.
Similarly with the situation of human rights in KSA, nearly a quarter of Saudis overseas
considered it satisfactory relative to the Saudis in KSA who were more satisfied 43%.
Regarding the satiation of civil and political rights, more disappointment among Saudis
overseas (66%) while it seems much less among Saudis inside KSA (33%). On religious establishment, minor differences appeared between the two samples on religious foundation’s role in social and political issues ranging less or equal to 20 percent unlike the other items. In case of women’s participation in politics, there was no significant distinction between the two samples." (thanks Mohammed)
