Saudi Arabia apologises for video labelling feminism as extremism

AKIPRESS.COM - Saudi Arabia's state security agency says a social media post on one of its accounts that categorised feminism as extremism was a mistake, BBC reports.
The promotional video categorised feminism, homosexuality and atheism as dangerous ideas and warned Saudis to be vigilant against them.
The security agency says it is investigating the video.
Saudi Arabia is trying to shake off its image as one of the most repressive countries in the world for women.
The animated clip was posted to the Twitter account of the State Security Presidency over the weekend. The agency reports directly to King Salman.
The agency said in a statement that the video contained multiple mistakes and the makers of the video did not do their job properly.
The Saudi Human Rights Commission also released a statement saying that feminism was not a crime. However, it did not make reference to homosexuality or atheism.
