Saudi authorities have detained a woman for “violating public order”… and guess what she had done to get into trouble? Driving that is! Apparently Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that bans women from driving…
The woman who was arrested on Sunday (and still being held AFAIK) is Manal Al Sharif, who launched a campaign against the long time ban last week by posting a video clip online of herself behind the wheel. The video above pretty much explains everything.
Btw, Saudi women are also barred from public voting besides a few isolate occasions.
