A leading Saudi campaigner for giving women the right to drive has been stopped by police as she was driving through the capital, Riyadh. On her Twitter page, Ms Nafjan provided a running account of their drive, saying they bought a bunch of bananas without anyone batting an eyelid.
She posted a photo of them filling up at a petrol station and expressed her satisfaction that this all seemed to be treated as an everyday occurrence. But then they were spotted and reported to the police, who stopped them. Aziza al Yousef messaged the BBC to say that they had been taken to a police station. Both were asked to sign a pledge that they would not drive again. Ms Nafjan refused to.
