ABC’s Four Corners returns with 561,000 metro viewers for Saudi women special

ABC’s Four Corners returned to screens last night with a metro audience of 561,000 tuning into a investigation on Saudi women who are trying to flee their country.

‘Escape From Saudi’ was the first episode of 2019, and came the same day as the announcement host Sarah Ferguson would leave her role later in the year, to lead the ABC’s China Bureau.

Some of #Saudi's bravest, most extraordinary women remain locked up tonight simply for asking for their rights. They have been tortured & abused. Hung from the ceiling. Sexually harassed. This is MBS's Saudi Arabia in 2019. How can we live with this? #4Corners #EscapeFromSaudi pic.twitter.com/5ke6uQIxhu
