The Saudi women鈥檚 activist, Loujain Al-Hathloul, was one of the most prominent campaigners for women's right to drive in the kingdom. But in May 2018, just before that driving ban was lifted, she was arrested and has been detained ever since. Her family say she has been tortured and there have been calls from around the globe for her release - including from senior politicians in the US and the UK.

She was previously allowed to talk to her family by phone once a week, but for the past six weeks there's been nothing and her on-and-off trial has been delayed again.

Her brother, Waleed al-Hathloul, says he believes the authorities are trying to punish the family for their vocal criticism of her treatment:

"We're speaking out and trying to advocate for her release and that's the price we're paying"
