Alia, sister of the Saudi prison prisoner, Lujain Al-Hathloul, expressed her concerns and her family over the fate of her sister inside the prison, especially after she cut one of her contacts with her about four weeks ago without a clear reason.
Alia said - in a tweet on her Twitter account - that her sister cried during their last call and was unusual "a warm cry", after she told her about the death of their grandfather.
She added that the crying of Lujain may be due to other reasons she could not disclose from her detention, warning that she would be a victim of attempts to kill slowly, especially after the fate of the Saudi human rights defender Abdullah Al-Hamid, who recently died inside his prison.
I called Lujain 4 weeks ago and the call was cut off the first minute. Her news was interrupted, then she spoke last week and told her about the death of my grandfather and cried a tearful cry that was not usual. |
Alia also said - in a second tweet - that she was threatened through her Twitter account, where fake accounts promised her of killing and that her sister Jane received the fate of Abdullah Al-Hamid himself.
Alia enclosed her post with what appeared to be a conversation with a fake account threatening her and her sister to die, commenting on her with the phrase "killing is not a game."
It is noteworthy that the authorities arrested more than a year ago human rights activist Jane Hathloul and more than 12 activists in the field of defending women's rights in Saudi Arabia.
Her family revealed in mid-August that they had rejected an offer to release her in exchange for a video statement denying reports of her being tortured while in detention.
These developments come in a file for Lujain a few days after the death of the human rights defender Abdullah Al-Hamid inside the prison, where the account of the "prisoners of conscience" published on the 24th of this month a tweet confirming his death because of "a deliberate health negligence that led him to a stroke that killed his life."
The news was widely condemned on social media and by international human rights organizations, who mourned al-Hamid, calling him "the fearless hero."
Al-Hamid, one of the founders of the “Decision” reform project in Saudi Arabia, was arrested in March 2013 and sentenced to 11 years in prison, without explaining the reasons for the ruling.
