Two Saudi men who opposed the participation of a woman poet in a public literary meeting were removed from the hall by security officers.
A video clip circulated on social media showed how a man stood up during the meeting held on the sideline of the book fair held in the Red Sea city of Jeddah to protest against allowing Ashjan Al Hindi, a Saudi poet, to recite a poem in the hall.
