Three of the eleven Saudi women’s activists detained for speaking out against the Saudi Arabian government’s treatment of women have been temporarily released from detention.

 

Lynn Maalouf from Amnesty International has said that while the releases should be celebrated, it should not be on a temporary basis.

 

Maalouf said “Amnesty International calls on the Saudi authorities to drop all charges against them and the other women’s rights defenders, who must all be released immediately and unconditionally.”
