Unshaken by the danger of arrest, Saudi activists announced that tomorrow (June 17, 2011) they would challenge the ban on women driving in Saudi Arabia, according to the Asia News website.
The "campaign" of civil disobedience -- which aims at getting a royal decree allowing women to drive a car -- was launched on Facebook.
The new campaign -- dubbed Women2drive -- urges women to get behind a wheel everywhere in Saudi Arabia tomorrow.
About 10 Saudi women are still in prison for breaking the ban on women driving in the past, including the best-known -- 32-year-old Manal Sherif.
