Loujain al Hathloul, who has been imprisoned in Saudi Arabia since May 2018 for her work promoting women's rights in the kingdom, including defying the previous ban on women driving, has turned down a deal to be released.
"She immediately ripped the document," according to Walid."She told them by asking me to sign this document you are involved in the the cover up and you're simply trying [to] defend Saud Al-Qahtani who was overseeing the torture." Loujain's sister, Lina al Hathloul, added:"Whatever happens I am certifying it 1 more time: Loujain has been brutally tortured and sexually harassed."
At least four of the female activists in Saudi custody have said they have been tortured, according to human rights groups.
