Islamic Segregation can be deadly: A student in Saudi Arabia died of a heart attack, probably because the male rescuers were not left to her. The security guards found the infarct sacrifice had not been dressed properly.

She studied at the King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he made her Masters in Social Sciences. On Wednesday against eleven clock in the morning the young woman in the women’s wing of the university suffered a heart attack. A short time later, she was dead – because rescuers were not allowed through to her. So reports the Arabic daily newspaper “Okaz”, citing statements by fellow students.

The summoned paramedics were prevented more than two hours because by the guards to enter the women’s section of the university. The security staff justified this by saying that the young woman was unveiled because of the infarction. The young woman was taken to the office of the Vice-Dean, but remained without medical help, where he died after a few hours.

Some students who witnessed the incident were to have suffered from shock, according to eyewitness accounts. “Some are just upset that others have started hysterically crying,” the newspaper quoted “Okaz” a student. “There is no religious doctrine that justifies it, to put life in serious trouble so too readily,” criticized another student.

In Saudi Arabia, strict, religiously motivated rules on gender segregation in public places apply. Again and again it happens that women die in medical emergencies, fires or other disasters, because the – almost exclusively male – rescue teams to certain areas for women may not enter.
