Saudi Arabia is one of the most restrictive women’s rights countries in the world. Guardianship laws prevent a woman from marrying, working or traveling  abroad without the consent of a male relative.  Women are not issued driving licenses.

Hackers defaced their Web site. Delegations of clerics appealed to the king to block their movement. And men claiming to be security agents called their cell phones to leave a clear message: O, women of the kingdom, do not get behind the wheel!
