GOVERNMENT of Saudi Arabia is angry to the movement of 'Saudi Women for Driving', ie a campaign protesting the ban on Arab women to drive. In the country, women driving contrary to religious law. However, women activists decided to fight the rules that are considered to be detrimental to these women. Resistance campaign started early this year led by Manal al-Sharif, through videos produced.
n the video, he was driving a Subaru car as he appealed to them to stop selling cars in the Arab kingdom. They hope Subaru's support for car manufacturers, is particularly concerned about women.
Early last June, 40 Saudi Arabian women deliberately driving gang. And since then more and more women are daring to break the rules the government deliberately drive through the capital Riyadh and other cities around it.
Authorities did not respond to provocative actions committed by the women, but recent news stating that there were five women who were arrested while driving on the coastal city of Jeddah.
There has been no news about the latest situation, while human rights activists could only wonder.They were confused and wondered if this was the beginning of which strongly opposed the government's attitude towards the campaign.
PemerintahArab itself, has no written law concerning the prohibition of women driving cars. The rules are based on a fatwa issued by senior clerics who follow the flow of conservative and fanatical Islam called Wahhabism.
U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton has expressed support for the campaign. Former women's number one in the U.S. is in awe of the courage of the Arab women who actively fight for their rights.
But as the closest U.S. allies, protest Arab women are actually put the Barack Obama, especially Hilarry Clinton are in a difficult position. Arab legal reason this one is quite contrary to the life of modern society.
Moreover, the U.S. is considered very high in terms of upholding human rights, including rights of women.
