Description
Draped in a Tunisian flag and her husband at home, Laila al-Qarni urges all Muslim women to attend Saudi Arabia's hajj without a male guardian, after the requirement was shelved last year. "Why do women have to be accompanied by a male anyway? Why?" she tells AFP near the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam's holiest city, in western Saudi Arabia. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
