DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A campaign to defy Saudi Arabia's ban on women driving opened Friday with female motorists getting behind the wheel – including one who took a 45-minute tour through the nation's capital – amid calls for sustained challenges to the restrictions in the ultraconservative kingdom.
Activists have not appealed for mass protests in any specific sites in Saudi Arabia, but are urging Saudi women to begin a growing mutiny against the male-only driving rules supported by clerics backing austere interpretations of Islam and enforced by powerful morality squads.
Solidarity with our sisters in Saudi Arabia! :thumbup1:
