新聞聚光燈

Saudi Arabia’s Interior Ministry on Thursday issued a warning to women not to get behind the wheel in defiance of the kingdom’s men-only road rules, after a renewed social media campaign to challenge the law by driving in public. The announcement comes ahead of the anniversary on Oct. 26 of a demonstration last year, in which dozens of Saudi women said that they had taken to the road in protest at the ban on female drivers, leading to some arrests. The conservative Islamic kingdom is the only country in the world to stop women driving, although a growing number of public figures in the country have publicly pushed for the rule to be overturned.
沙特阿拉伯內政部在本周四警告婦女不要違反該國隻允許男性駕車的規定而開車上路。此前沙特女性在社交媒體上掀起了新一輪的宣傳活動,並以公開駕車的方式挑戰該法令。內政部的聲明發布於“十·二六”示威一周年前夕。幾十名沙特婦女在去年的示威遊行中表示,她們曾開車上路,以抗議這條針對女性駕車者的禁令,部分人因此被捕。盡管在沙特國內有越來越多的社會名人公開倡議廢除這一規定,這個保守的伊斯蘭王國至今仍是世界上惟一禁止女性駕車的國家。
