to 10 lashes because she was caught driving a car.
And, this fucking country has the gall to dictate terms to Canada re. our advertisements about their human rights abuses towards women ??? Shame on that blasted Canadian law firm and shame on that Hindu lawyer for taking up the case for this degenerate nation. How I wish a comet would find it's way to that other comet in Mecca they revere as holy and blow up all those bastards to tiny little pieces!!!!
A Saudi woman was sentenced Tuesday to be lashed 10 times with a whip for defying the kingdom's prohibition on female drivers, the first time a legal punishment has been handed down for a violation of the longtime ban in the ultraconservative Muslim nation.
Normally, police just stop female drivers, question them and let them go after they sign a pledge not to drive again. But dozens of women have continued to take to the roads since June in a campaign to break the taboo.
Making Tuesday's sentence all the more upsetting to activists is that it came just two days after King Abdullah promised to protect women's rights and decreed that women would be allowed to participate in municipal elections in 2015. Abdullah also promised to appoint women to a currently all-male advisory body known as the Shura Council...........
