Saudi woman released!

Manal al-Sherif has been released into her fathers' custody by the Saudi authorities.  She was detained for driving illegally in Saudi Arabia. She has been mounting a campaign to encourage other women to drive so that women get the right to drive in Saudi Arabia. 

Although technically no law prevents women from driving, no driving licences get issued by the Saudi authorities to women making it illegal for women to drive. Manal is encouraging women to drive using foreign licences.  Good luck to her and all other Saudi women.

I may not like driving, but I sure like having the right to be able to do it if I want!
