Family accuses Saudi woman activist Louzain of six years in prison

- Improvements were made such as allowing women to drive cars

Dubai Ta. Tuesday 29 December 2020

Saudi Arabian women's rights activist Luizain al-Hatlauk was sentenced on Monday to six years in prison under an anti-terrorism law enacted last week.

Luzain has been widely accused of campaigning for women's rights, ranging from allowing women to drive cars, and for making Saudi Arabia a laughing stock in Jagchauta. She was first arrested in 2018. She has been in prison ever since.

He was recently arraigned in an anti-terrorism court. Various false allegations were leveled against him in this court such as running a foreign agenda, agitating for change, using the internet in a way that harms the public order, etc. Luzain was laughing.

Her family, however, alleged that Luzain was flogged and given electric shocks in the same way a hate crime perpetrator is beaten. Since Luzain was jailed in 2018, the US Congress and European countries have repeatedly called for his release, but Saudi Arabia has not listened.

Luzain also fought fiercely against the right of Saudi men to enslave women. State media claimed that the country's anti-terrorism court had convicted and sentenced Luzain for more than one crime.

Meanwhile, during a BBC interview with Luzain's family, they alleged that Luzain was not even allowed to speak to relatives for three months when he was first detained. Luzain was treated like a habitual offender. He was given electric shocks and flogged. She was also sexually abused. Authorities, however, denied all the allegations.

The court gave Luzin thirty days to challenge the verdict. Considering that he had been in jail since 2018, the court had now announced that he was serving a three-year jail term.
