Saudi women granted right to vote
Saudi Arabian women were granted the right to vote Sunday by King Abdullah in a move many say was prompted by the Arab Spring. Saudi women are not allowed to drive and do not have equal rights with men, but Abdullah's decision also allows women to run for public office.
It is unclear how many women will take advantage of their new freedoms, as they legally could be denied the opportunities by the men in their lives. The new law will take effect during the next nationwide local elections — in 2015. Bullfighting banned in Catalonia
Sunday marked the last bullfight ever in Spain's Catalonia region. While it is not banned in every region of Spain, many have protested, saying it is an attack on liberty.
Anti-bullfighting activists celebrated at the final fight that took place in Barcelona, and Spain's leading broadcaster already declared several months ago it would no longer air live bullfights because of the violence it demonstrated to children.o
