InfoSec News: Manal al-Sharif Imprisoned For 10 More Days For Driving in Saudi Arabia: http://www.care2.com/causes/womens-rights/blog/manal-al-sharif-imprisoned-for-10-more-days-for-driving-in-saudi-arabia/

Manal al-Sharif, the Saudi woman who was arrested early Sunday morning for defying her country's ban on women driving and calling for a June 17th "mass drive" on Facebook, created. was supposed to be released from prison today. But authorities say that she will be held for ten more days, the Guardian reports. According to her lawyer, al-Sharif is being charged with driving "without a licence, provoking other women to do the same and provoking public opinion in Saudi Arabia":
It is disputed by lawyers whether it is illegal for women to drive under national law but it is socially and religiously unacceptable in many quarters.
"The investigator needs another 10 days to complete his investigation," said Al Sharif's lawyer, Adnan Al Salah. "He will decide whether Manal is innocent and has to be released or he will refer her to the prosecution unit, a government organisation and they might refer her to a special prosecutor to deal with the case. I feel the fair and right thing would have been to release her on bail."
Al-Sharif had also posted a video online of her driving and another video in which she described how women could participate in the June 17 protest.
...
Manal al-Sharif is, says the Saudi Women weblog, a woman whom Saudi Arabia should be proud of:
She is one of the first women in the world to be a Certified Ethical Hacker-EC-Council CISSP-(ISC)2 Certified ISO 27001 Implementer and Lead Auditor -BSI & ISO. She is an IT security consultant at the biggest oil company in Saudi, ARAMCO.
