Saudi women driver protest challenges ban amid cautious policing
More than 60 women across Saudi Arabia said they drove Saturday defying a de facto ban as police offered little protest. Activists reported driving with abroad licenses, sharing videos and messages, while officials warned violators could face action. The protest follows 1990 and 2011 drives, signaling a slow shift in a society balancing reform with strict clerical power.
