Saudi Arabia will overturn a ban on the import and sale of mobile camera phones in the conservative Muslim kingdom, Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper reported on Thursday.
Although widely used across the country, camera phones are illegal in Saudi Arabia and have been condemned by religious leaders who say they are used to invade privacy, particularly of women.
Several fights have been triggered at weddings and girls' schools after pictures of unveiled women – who must cover their heads in public – have been taken and distributed, newspapers have reported.
Al-Eqtisadiah quoted unnamed sources as saying authorities had asked the Interior Ministry to put in place regulations to prevent "the negative use of the camera equipment in the phone."

I think the saudi govt prefers chopping heads off as a minor form of punishment!
