Loujain al-Hathloul, who was sentenced on Monday to five years and eight months prison, has become emblematic of the fight for women s rights in Saudi Arabia.
The 31-year-old long campaigned for women to be able to drive and for an end to the kingdom s notorious guardianship system, which requires women to get permission from male relatives for many decisions.
A graduate of the Canadian University of British Columbia, Hathloul was detained in May 2018 just weeks before the historic lifting of the decades-old driving ban along with several prominent women campaigners on the charge of attempting to destabilise the kingdom .
