O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? Zakiah al-Bakheet, a young Saudi widow, has long been begging the Saudi officials to return what's left of her husband: his belongings including his books and notebooks, his bank documents and above all his corpse. Zakiah says, "I want to bury him in a place that suits him, not like someone whose identity is unknown, or like someone whos committed an ugly crime." G 1 The story of Zakiah is the tragic story of many other Shia women in Saudi Arabia who have lost their husbands to a sinister system of injustice entrenched deeply in the kingdom against religious minorities.
