Saudi Arabia: Authorities defend mosque speaker restriction

The Ministry of Islamic Affairs in Saudi Arabia has announced that all loudspeakers of mosques should cut down their volume to one third of their original capacity. Supposedly, this was done in response to complaints by the public, for instance children who couldn't sleep. It might also be part of the new policy of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is attempting to make the outlook of the country more liberal.
