Imprisoned Saudi Activist Loujain al-Hathloul on 12th Day of Hunger Strike

HeadlineNov 06, 2020

The imprisoned Saudi activist Loujain al-Hathloul has begun her 12th day on a hunger strike. On Thursday, a U.N. committee expressed alarm over her physical and mental health and well-being and called on the Saudi king to release her. Al-Hathloul was arrested in May 2018 after leading a movement to lift a ban on women drivers and to overhaul the male guardianship system in Saudi Arabia.
