A female member of a Saudi human rights organisation was reportedly fined by police after she drove herself to hospital. 
  
 Aliyah Al Farid, a businesswoman and member of the National Society for Human Rights (NSHR), suffers from a chronic condition which means she is occasionally forced to visit hospital. 
  
 In Saudi Arabia, it is not illegal for women to drive on the road, but it is illegal for them to be granted a driver’s license – effectively making the former law meaningless. 
  
 Worried by her condition and unable to find a chaperon, Al Farid, who has reportedly been caught driving twice before, set off in her husband’s car, but was caught by police during her journey, Al-Hayat daily reported, according to the Saudi Gazette. 
  
 When Al Farid explained to police that she was very ill and did not have anyone to help her, officers agreed that she could drive to hospital on the condition that they would wait for her outside. 
  
 Leaving the facility in an undisclosed location, she found four traffic police vehicles and she was taken to the local Traffic Department. 
  
 Al-Farid told reporters: "I told the traffic officers that I had to drive because it was an emergency case. 
  
 "I didn’t do it on purpose and I’m not after fame or media hype. I was very sick and that was it." 
  
 Al-Farid, who learned how to drive in Bahrain does not have a Saudi driver’s license. 
  
 "There are no laws here that ban women from driving cars on the road," she said, adding she had refused to agree to a police request to never drive again. 
  
 Al-Farid owns a centre caring for people with special needs and on occasion must rush her patients to hospital. 
  
 "We can’t leave an epileptic patient convulsing on the ground while waiting for our male driver to come and transport him to hospital. 
  
 "I have to get behind the steering wheel and do it," she told the newspaper. 
  
 And as the area where she lives is remote, taxi drivers often refuse to drive her for fear that their cars might get damaged, she added. ||||| Saudi human rights activist Aliyah Al Farid was detained by police for driving herself to the hospital. While it’s not illegal for women to drive in Saudi Arabia, cultural custom dictates that women not operate a vehicle, and unofficial religious police enforce the custom. Additionally, women will not be issued driver’s licenses. So while it’s not illegal for them to drive, one requires a license to operate a vehicle, which women can’t get. 
  
 Al Farid claims to have suffered a medical emergency, and instead of waiting around for a man to refuse to ask for directions drive her, decided to take matters (and the steering wheel) into her own hands. 
  
 Enroute to the hospital, Al Farid was pulled over, explained her situation and allowed to continue on to be seen by a doctor. Then, once given the medical okay, she was fined for driving without a license. When asked to sign a document promising to never drive again, Al Farid refused because, again, she wasn’t breaking any official Saudi laws. When asked, Al Farid said she’d do it again. “I didn’t do it on purpose and I’m not after fame or media hype. I was very sick and that was it.”

 When police pulled her over, Aliyah Al Farid said she had a medical emergency and there was no one available to drive her to the hospital so she took her husband’s car. 
  
 The officers reportedly allowed her to continue driving. They followed her to the hospital and waited while she saw a doctor, before taking her to the traffic department where she was fined for driving without a licence. 
  
 Women are unable to get a driver’s licence in Saudi Arabia, despite there being no law against women driving. 
  
 Al Farid has been arrested for driving twice previously and has participated in campaigns to allow female drivers, but told Arabic daily Al Hayat on this occasion it was an emergency.

– A Saudi woman who suffered a medical emergency when there was no man around is in trouble for driving herself to the hospital. Aliyah Al Farid, a member of the National Society for Human Rights, was pulled over by the country's religious police when she was behind the wheel of her husband's car, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. She was allowed to drive to the hospital after she explained that she suffered from a chronic condition and lives in a remote area, but police took her to be fined by the traffic department after she had been seen by a doctor. Al Farid has campaigned to allow women to drive in the kingdom, but she says the drive to the hospital was an emergency, not a stunt, ArabianBusiness.com reports. "I told the traffic officers that I had to drive because it was an emergency case," she says. "I'm not after fame or media hype. I was very sick and that was it." She owns a center for people with special needs and says she has sometimes driven people to the hospital rather than "leave an epileptic patient convulsing on the ground while waiting for our male driver to come and transport him." Because there is no actual law banning Saudi women from driving, she refused to sign a pledge never to drive again, although it's illegal for women in the kingdom to be issued driver's licenses, the Independent reports. (Last year, a leading Saudi cleric was widely mocked for saying women shouldn't drive because it harms their ovaries.)
Skriv en sammanfattning baserad på denna artikel: En kvinnlig medlem i en saudisk människorättsorganisation dömdes enligt uppgift av polisen till böter efter att hon kört sig till sjukhus. Aliyah Al Farid, affärskvinna och medlem i National Society for Human Rights (NSHR), lider av ett kroniskt tillstånd vilket gör att hon emellanåt tvingas besöka sjukhus. I Saudiarabien är det inte olagligt för kvinnor att köra bil på vägen, men det är olagligt för dem att få körkort – vilket i praktiken gör den tidigare lagen meningslös. Orolig över hennes tillstånd och oförmögen att hitta ett förkläde, Al Farid, som enligt uppgift har blivit ertappad med att köra två gånger tidigare, gav sig iväg i makens bil, men fastnade av polisen under hennes resa, rapporterade Al-Hayat dagligen, enligt Saudi Gazette. När Al Farid förklarade för polisen att hon var mycket sjuk och inte hade någon som kunde hjälpa henne, kom officerare överens om att hon kunde köra till sjukhus på villkor att de skulle vänta på henne utanför. När hon lämnade anläggningen på en okänd plats hittade hon fyra trafikpolisfordon och hon fördes till den lokala trafikavdelningen. Al-Farid sa till reportrar: "Jag sa till trafikpoliserna att jag var tvungen att köra eftersom det var ett akutfall. "Jag gjorde det inte med flit och jag är inte ute efter berömmelse eller mediahype. Jag var mycket sjuk och det var allt." Al-Farid, som lärt sig köra i Bahrain, har inget saudiskt körkort. "Det finns inga lagar här som förbjuder kvinnor att köra bil på vägen", sade hon och tillade att hon hade vägrat gå med på en polisförfrågan att aldrig köra igen. Al-Farid äger ett centrum som tar hand om personer med särskilda behov och måste ibland skynda sina patienter till sjukhus. "Vi kan inte lämna en epileptisk patient på marken och vänta på att vår manliga chaufför ska komma och transportera honom till sjukhus. "Jag måste sätta mig bakom ratten och göra det", sade hon till tidningen. Och eftersom det område där hon bor är avlägset, vägrar taxichaufförer ofta att köra henne av rädsla för att deras bilar kan bli skadade, tillade hon. Saudiarabiska människorättsaktivisten Aliyah Al Farid fängslades av polisen för att ha kört sig till sjukhuset. Även om det inte är olagligt för kvinnor att köra i Saudiarabien, kulturella sed kräver att kvinnor inte driva ett fordon, och inofficiella religiösa polisen genomdriva seden. Dessutom kommer kvinnor inte att utfärdas körkort. Så även om det inte är olagligt för dem att köra, kräver man ett körkort för att köra ett fordon, som kvinnor inte kan få. Al Farid säger sig ha drabbats av en medicinsk nödsituation, och istället för att vänta runt på att en man skulle vägra att be om vägbeskrivning köra henne, bestämde sig för att ta saken (och ratten) i egna händer. På väg till sjukhuset blev Al Farid stoppad, förklarade sin situation och fick fortsätta att bli sedd av en läkare. När hon en gång hade fått läkartillståndet, dömdes hon till böter för att ha kört utan körkort. När Al Farid ombads att underteckna ett dokument som lovade att aldrig mer köra bil, vägrade han, för återigen bröt hon inte mot några officiella saudiska lagar. På frågan sade Al Farid att hon skulle göra det igen. — Jag gjorde det inte med flit och jag är inte ute efter berömmelse eller mediahype. Jag var mycket sjuk och det var det.” h/t: ArabianBusiness.com . . En kvinnlig medlem av Saudiarabiens National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) har enligt uppgift fått böter för att ha kört sig till sjukhuset. När polisen stoppade henne sade Aliyah Al Farid att hon hade en medicinsk nödsituation och att det inte fanns någon som kunde köra henne till sjukhuset så hon tog sin mans bil. Enligt uppgift tillät officerarna henne att fortsätta köra. De följde henne till sjukhuset och väntade medan hon träffade en läkare, innan hon fördes till trafikavdelningen där hon fick böta för att ha kört utan körkort. Kvinnor kan inte få körkort i Saudiarabien, trots att det inte finns någon lag mot att kvinnor kör bil. Al Farid har arresterats för att ha kört två gånger tidigare och har deltagit i kampanjer för att tillåta kvinnliga förare, men berättade för arabiska dagstidningen Al Hayat vid detta tillfälle att det var en nödsituation. — Jag sade till trafikpoliserna, att jag måste köra, därför att det var ett nödfall, sade hon. — Jag gjorde det inte med flit och jag är inte ute efter berömmelse eller mediahype. Jag var mycket sjuk och det var allt.” Hon sa att hon också ibland körde patienter på sitt centrum för personer med särskilda behov när de brådskande läkarvård. — Vi kunna inte lämna en epileptisk patient som konvulserar på marken i väntan på att vår manliga kusk skall komma och transportera honom till sjukhus, sade hon. “Jag måste sätta mig bakom ratten och göra det.” Al Farid har vägrat att underteckna ett åtagande att inte köra igen, med hänvisning till det faktum att det inte finns någon lag som förbjuder kvinnor att köra; det har blivit en kulturell sedvänja rutinmässigt genomdrivas av den inofficiella religiösa polisen (haia).

– En saudisk kvinna som drabbats av en medicinsk nödsituation när det inte fanns någon man i närheten har problem med att köra sig själv till sjukhuset. Aliyah Al Farid, medlem av National Society for Human Rights, stoppades av landets religiösa polis när hon stod bakom ratten i makens bil, San Francisco Chronicle rapporterar. Hon fick köra till sjukhuset efter att hon förklarat att hon led av ett kroniskt tillstånd och bor i ett avlägset område, men polisen tog henne för att bötfällas av trafikavdelningen efter att hon hade setts av en läkare. Al Farid har kampanjat för att tillåta kvinnor att köra i riket, men hon säger att körningen till sjukhuset var en nödsituation, inte ett stunt, ArabianBusiness.com rapporterar. "Jag sa till trafikpoliserna att jag var tvungen att köra eftersom det var ett akutfall", säger hon. "Jag är inte ute efter berömmelse eller mediahype. Jag var mycket sjuk och det var allt." Hon äger ett centrum för personer med särskilda behov och säger att hon ibland har kört folk till sjukhuset snarare än att "lämna en epileptisk patient som konvulserar på marken i väntan på att vår manliga förare ska komma och transportera honom." Eftersom det inte finns någon lag som förbjuder saudiarabiska kvinnor att köra, vägrade hon att skriva på ett löfte att aldrig köra igen, även om det är olagligt för kvinnor i riket att utfärdas körkort, de oberoende rapporterar. (Förra året hånades en ledande saudisk präst för att ha sagt att kvinnor inte borde köra eftersom det skadar deras äggstockar.)
