DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Prominent Saudi women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul was summoned by security officials and informed of a supreme court decision that ultimately upholds her initial conviction. Her sisters said Sunday that al-Hathloul was informed to report to the office of the Interior Ministry’s General Directorate of Investigation, or “mabaheth,” in the capital, Riyadh. There, she was asked to sign a document informing her of the court’s decision. They family questioned why she was informed of a legal decision by a security agency. Al-Hathloul, who was released from prison in February after nearly three years in detention, was sentenced in December on charges related to her activism.
