FILE- In this Sept. 16, 1990 file photo, two Saudi women wear the black abaya and veil called the burka, worn by some Muslim women, and two young girls wear the abaya as they walk in public through the marketplace in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Saudi King Salman has announced women in the ultraconservative kingdom will be able to drive for the first time next summer. The decision comes after decades of female drivers facing arrest and harassment. In 1990, a major protest saw 50 female drivers ply the streets of Riyadh, the country???s capital. They later were arrested for driving and lost their passports and their jobs. More than 20 years later, a woman was sentenced in 2011 to 10 lashes for driving, though the late King Abdullah overturned the sentence. (AP Photo, File)
