Yemeni women continue to protest

Yemeni women in silent protest

I was reading earlier today that the ruler of Yemen has told women that it was un-Islamic for them to protest along the men. Considering that most Yemeni women cover themselves from head to toe, I'm not sure how much more modest they could be?

The good thing is that it has not deterred women from taking to the streets to protest. If anything they are going out in bigger numbers. They will not be silenced, even though they protest in silence in this picture.
