She sat with Megan Markell and was ranked among the most influential Arabs. Arrest of Lojeen EL-BaHouall raises questions in mysterious answers in Saudi Arabia

Just days before the visit of the Saudi Crown Prince, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in March 2018 to the United States, Jane Al-Hathall, one of the most prominent Saudi women activists, was arrested while driving on a highway near her university in Abu Dhabi. The 28-year-old was taken away from her car and taken home by plane, The Washington Post reported. Jane spent several days in prison before being released, banned from using social networks or leaving the country. The Crown Prince began his three-week public relations campaign in the United States, where he met with Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey and others. The delivery of al-Hathul from the UAE, where she was studying for a master's degree, raised many questions about what might be a "contradiction" between the Saudi public relations campaign that promotes reform and the reality on the ground for those who demand women's rights. He also showed the close cooperation between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which together promote a model in the region that gives priority to stability and economic development, while political activity is severely curtailed. The Washington Post reported details of Jane's return to people familiar with the incident, preferring not to name them. Authorities in Riyadh did not respond to requests to comment on the matter on Sunday 20 May 2018. Despite what appeared to be compliance by Jane for attempts to silence her - another tweet for her 316,000 followers on March 12, 2018 - In the past, in what appeared to be a campaign for women activists in the Kingdom in particular. A total of seven Saudis, five women and two men who had supported their case, including a lawyer like Jane, were arrested in the past. The authorities have formally accused them of crimes involving "suspected links with foreign parties", undermining Saudi Arabia's "security and stability" and publicizing media outlets close to the government in what activists called a "malicious defamation" campaign. "We should celebrate Belvin now," said Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi writer in exile in the United States, whose arrest was not necessary after the massive efforts by Mohammed bin Salman in the United States to present himself as a reformer. Jane's focus is on allowing women to drive and end women's jurisdiction in the country. The movement achieved some success, and seemed consistent with Mohammed bin Salman's vision of modernizing Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom granted women the right to drive last year (2017) and relaxed state laws. According to women, it is assumed that women are now able to obtain government services and open companies without the permission of a man, although authorization is still often required in practice. The guardian is still required for women to travel or marry. But the Kingdom's slow-moving reforms are accompanied by an increasingly narrowing of those who call for change. Human Rights Watch called it a "panic attack" for those genuinely involved in reform. "This arrest campaign is an arrest campaign against women in Saudi Arabia, and even the two men who were arrested were with us," said an activist who identified some of those arrested. According to the London-based Saudi rights group Al Qisayn, they raided a house for Jane at 2:30 pm on May 15, 2018. She was arrested in her bedroom. The organization said she was taken to Al-Ha'ir prison, the same prison where she was detained after being detained in the UAE. According to human rights groups, detainees have since been transferred to Jeddah. She is no stranger to detention and is no stranger to detention. Jane emerged on the scene in 2014, when she parked in neighboring Abu Dhabi and tried to drive her across the border into Saudi Arabia. She was arrested at the time and transferred to a court of terrorism, but was released before being brought to trial and after 73 days of detention. The following year, she participated in municipal council elections, after a royal order that allowed women to run and vote in municipalities. But her name was never added to the ballot papers. She was detained again in June 2017, after returning from a family visit to the United States. Last year (2017), along with actress Megan Markle, who married British Prince Harry, was photographed last Saturday, 19 May 2018, at a humanitarian summit in Canada. Arab Business Magazine, last year (2017), ranked 45th on the list of the most influential Arabs in the world. Saudi Arabia's Okaz newspaper reported Sunday (May 20, 2018) that detainees may face up to 20 years' imprisonment. The media, which are close to the authorities, publicly portrayed them as "traitors". The detainees are held by several generations of Saudi women activists. Aziza al-Yousef, a professor at King Saud University, has defended women's rights in Saudi Arabia for decades. When the women signed a petition against the state system, Aziza took the petition to the royal palace. Among the detainees were Aisha al-Mana (70 years old), who was one of the first to challenge the ban on driving. One of the 40 women in a convoy in Riyadh in 1990 was Madiha al-Ajrush, a psychiatrist in her mid-sixties, She is also being held now. "Jane, Aziza and the other activists are using their real identities, they are very brave, they have very supportive families and beautiful lives, but they chose to be our voice," said the Saudi activist, who campaigned on the Internet anonymously. Just hours after the lifting of the ban on driving in September 2017, women were contacted
We have not justified this right and asked them not to comment publicly, even positively. One activist, who spoke before the recent campaign, speculated that there might be an "old camp" trying to counter Mohammed bin Salman's reforms. Others rejected it, saying it was fully in power. "There is no old guard, Mohammed bin Salman is completely in control, what is happening now is unprecedented," Khashoggi said. "This is not Saudi Arabia," he said, "but the new Saudi Arabia."
