Loujain al-Hathloul(Arabic: لجين الهذلول Lujjayn al-Hadhlūl;
born 31 July 1989) is a Saudi women's rights activist, a social media figure, and a political prisoner.
Loujain al-Hathloul
and Maysaa al-Amoudi had been held since Dec. 1, after al-Hathloul, 25, attempted to drive into Saudi Arabia from the United Arab Emirates, Agence France-Presse reports.
Loujain al-Hathloul's parents stated that Loujain's"thighs
were blackened by bruises" when they visited, and that Loujain"was shaking uncontrollably,
unable to hold her grip, to walk or sit normally" during their visit.
According to Loujain al-Hathloul's
sister Alia,(who lives in Brussels, Belgium), torture techniques used specifically against Loujain also included beating,
electric shocks and waterboarding, and the torture occurred between May and August 2018.
