Saudi woman driver freed after agreeing to quit campaign | World news | The Guardian

Saudi Arabia, the only country in the world that bans women from driving, arrested activist Manal al-Sharif for “violating public order”. Her lawyer said she had been charged with driving without a license. But, a happy ending. She was released and "Sharif expressed "profound gratitude" to King Abdullah for ordering her release and appeared to abandon her call for women to be allowed to drive".
