3 - Arrests of womenโ€™s rights defenders

 

Earlier this year, a number of prominent womenโ€™s rights defenders were arrested in Saudiโ€™s ongoing crackdown on the human rights community. Loujain al-Hathloul, Iman al-Nafjan and Aziza al-Yousef have all been arbitrarily detained without charge since May. Following their arrests, the government launched a chilling smear campaign to discredit them as โ€œtraitorsโ€. They may face trial before a counterterror court and risk a lengthy prison sentence.
