But perhaps a death sentence for a few words in a song (?) is going a tadge OTT ???

I've always been wary of those arab countries pretending to be progressive and tolerant.
I know people who go to Dubai every year, but personally I wouldn't risk being arrested and executed for kissing my wife in public.

A bit more. Hard to know what the new rules are without publishing them. Seem amputations dropped off a while ago also stoning.

Repressive draft penal code shatters illusions of progress and reform in Saudi Arabia

Our analyses of the leaked draft code reveals how instead of improving the country’s abysmal human rights record, it contravenes international law and codifies existing repressive practices into written law.

They can't contravene "international law" unless Saudi Arabia are signatories to it.

Many of the Arab states have the same style of leader. An exception - Syria - different type of uprising than Iran.

Egypt some what different Dates interesting
Egyptians had lived under emergency law from 1967 until 31 May 2012 (with one 18-month break starting in 1980).[11] Emergency laws have been extended every three years since 1981. These laws sharply circumscribed any non-governmental political activity: street demonstrations, non-approved political organizations, and unregistered financial donations were formally banned. However, since 2000, these restrictions have been violated in practice. In 2003, the agenda shifted heavily towards local democratic reforms, opposition to the succession of Gamal Mubarak as president, and rejection of violence by state security forces. Groups involved in the latest wave include PCSPI, the Egyptian Movement for Change (Kefaya), and the Association for Egyptian Mothers.[12]

Qatar conned the knee bending footballs into thinking they were progressing.

Harry even offered to educate them.
Then he bottled it before he got one of those dangerous yellow cards..

We are all conned about them to some extent as one way or another all are similar even if they hold elections. in fact that seems to be capable of making things worse - in some ways.
