Saudi woman to be lashed for defying driving ban
Elryad - Arabstoday
A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a woman to 10 lashes for breaking the country's ban on female drivers.The woman, identified only as Shema, was found guilty of driving in Jeddah in July.Women2drive, which campaigns for women to be allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, says she has already lodged an appeal.In recent months, scores of women have driven vehicles in Saudi cities in an effort to put pressure on the monarchy to change the law.The sentence comes two days after the Saudi leader King Abdullah announced women would be allowed to vote for the first time in 2015.Two other women are due to appear in court later this year on similar charges, correspondents say.
