http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-30602155Two Saudi women who were detained for defying a ban on female drivers are to be tried in a terrorism court, activists say.
Loujain al-Hathloul, 25, and Maysa al-Amoudi, 33, have been in detention for nearly a month.
The women's cases had reportedly been transferred over comments they had made on social media - rather than for their driving, according to activists.
Saudi Arabia is the world's only country to forbid women from driving.
While it is not technically illegal for women to drive, only men are awarded driving licenses - and women who drive in public risk being fined and arrested by the police.
Saudi women have launched a series of campaigns - including on social media - to demand an easing of the restrictions.
A backwards, medievalist, oppressive, repressive, fucked up dictatorship
