Loujain al-Hathloul, a women's rights activist in Saudi Arabia who spent more than 900 days in pre-trial detention, is now being treated as an alleged threat to national security. Human rights groups called on world leaders to use the G20 virtual summit held last week in Riyadh to pressure Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to allow his release.
