Loujain al-Hathloul, a prominent women’s rights activist on trial in Saudi Arabia, faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years if convicted, her sister said.
“My sister must be released. … All she has done is ask for women to be treated with the dignity and freedom that should be their right. For that, the Saudi authorities are seeking the maximum sentence available under the law — 20 years in prison,” Hathloul’s sister Lina told The Guardian newspaper Wednesday.
