Blazing the trail for the freedom of movement in Saudi | Middle East Eye

 "According to a statement released by the October 26th Driving Campaign - a movement formed in 2013 that seeks to end the country’s ban on female driving - Loujain is currently at a young women’s correctional facility in al-Ahsa.  No further information has emerged about her status.

Another woman, journalist Maysaa al-Amoudi, was also arrested after driving to the border from the UAE to support Loujain. Saudi authorities interrogated both women without the presence of a lawyer, according to organisers familiar with their cases."
