“‘I will drive on October 26,’ activist Nasima al-Sada told AFP on Sunday, saying that some 20 women are going to take part in the campaign in the kingdom’s Eastern Province. ‘Many women are enthusiastic about learning to drive, or to teach other’ women how to drive, she said, as many Saudi women have obtained abroad the driving licences they are denied in their homeland. ‘There is not a single text in the Sharia Islamic law that prevents us (from driving).
