Prominent #Saudi women's rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul has rejected a proposal to secure her release from prison in exchange for a video statement denying reports she was tortured in custody, her family said google.com/amp/s/mobile.r…
Hathloul, along with at least a dozen other women's rights activists, were arrested over a year ago. Rights groups say at least 3 of the women, incl Hathloul, were held in solitary confinement for months and subjected to abuse including electric shocks, flogging & sexual assault.
Hathloul’s siblings allege that Saud al-Qahtani, a senior adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who has also been implicated in Khashoggi's murder, was present during some of the torture sessions and threatened to rape and kill her.
Hathloul, 30, initially agreed to sign a document denying she had been subjected to torture and harassment, her brother Walid tweeted. The family remained quiet recently in hopes the case could be resolved privately. #Saudi #LoujainAlHathloul
Loujain al-Hathloul turned 30 on July 31, in #Saudi regime detention. We remember you, Loujain
