Woman sentenced to 10 Lashes for driving car in Saudi Arabia

Saudi activists say a court has sentenced a Saudi woman with 10 lashes for defying the kingdom's ban on women driving.

Activist Samar Badawi says Shaima Ghassaniya was found guilty today of driving without the government's permission.

No laws prohibit women from driving, but conservative religious edicts have banned it.

Najalaa Harriri, who is also facing court for driving, revealed she needed to drive to take better care of her children.
