Kidnapped, accused of treason, tortured, disappeared, brought before terrorism court... all while innocent of anything but campaigning for women's rights. Loujain is finally released but is still under severe restrictions. Alhamdulillah, the fight for her freedom continues.

As we celebrate let's remember that Loujain is not yet free. She is still under probation and under travel restrictions, and is not allowed to speak to the media or have full control of her own social media accounts. Let's commit to keep fighting until she is completely free.
Let's also commit to ensuring accountability and bringing to justice those who persecuted her, kidnapped her, tarnished her reputation in state papers, tortured her, covered up the torture, denied her due process, and convicted her of a non-crime. They should be the ones in jail.
Americans - please learn about Loujain and commit to standing up for her and for the many imprisoned Arab human rights activists being tortured and brutalized in the prisons of your "allies" in the region. We are human beings, too, and our lives matter, too.
The Hathloul siblings @alia_ww @WalidAlhathloul @LinaAlhathloul are heroes. They campaigned relentlessly for their sister and won her release. This story is as much about them as it is about her. My undying love, solidarity, and respect.
