| Subject: Great! Some Saudi women defy driving ban in day of protest Sat Oct 26, 2013 7:25 pm | |
| A handful of Saudi women have taken to the streets in their cars on a day of collective protest against the ban on female drivers.
Several videos of women driving have been posted online despite official warnings that women who took part risked sanctions.
Some women received warning phone calls from men purporting to be from the interior ministry.
But one woman who took part said she had faced no reprisals.
"I went to the grocery shop near the house... there was a reporter with me," Mai al-Sawyan told the BBC from Riyadh.
