Female Driver Sentenced To Lashing In Saudi Arabia

The Wall Street Journal Law Blog reports:

Clearly, the Saudi Arabian ban on women drivers that we mentioned yesterday is still very much in force.

Less than 48 hours after Saudi King Abdullah announced that women would be able to vote in local elections, a court in Jeddah sentenced a woman to 10 lashes for allegedly defying the Kingdom’s ban on female drivers, according to this item in WSJ’s “Driver’s Seat” blog.
