Saudi Woman to Receive 10 Lashes for Driving Car
Published September 27, 2011
Associated Press

CAIRO –  Saudi activists say a court has sentenced a Saudi woman with 10 lashes for defying the kingdom's ban on women driving.

Activist Samar Badawi says Shaima Ghassaniya was found guilty Tuesday of driving without the government's permission.

No laws prohibit women from driving, but conservative religious edicts have banned it.

The ruling comes just two days after Saudi King Abdullah announced that, for the first time, women have the right to vote and run in the country's 2015 local elections.

Najalaa Harriri, who is also facing court for driving, told The Associated Press she needed to drive to take better care of her children.

Tuesday's verdict is the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia. Other women were detained for several days, but had not been sentenced by a court.

Not a bad punishment when you see the women drivers here in S. FL.  Especially the Orientals that always have a cig in one hand and the cell phone in the other.

Yep.  No amputations.  They're slipping.
