Aziza al-Yousef is a Saudi Arabian women's rights activist and academic.[1] She was detained by Saudi authorities in May 2018 along with Loujain al-Hathloul and five others.[2]
As of November, 2018, she was apparently being held in the Dhahban Central Prison.[3] In late March 2019, the women presented their defence and described physical and sexual abuse they had endured in captivity. Aziza al-Yousef, together with Eman al-Nafjan and Dr Rokaya Mohareb were released on bail.[4]
Biography
Al-Yousef studied briefly at King Saud University as a teenager before moving to the United States to study at Virginia Commonwealth University. She completed her master's degree back at King Saud University.[5]
Al-Yousef taught computer science at King Saud university for 28 years before retiring.[6]
In 2013, al-Yousef was arrested along with fellow activist Eman al-Nafjan for driving through Riyadh by themselves. They were forced to sign a pledge that they would not drive again.[7] In 2013, al-Youssef launched a global awareness campaign following the rape of 5-year girl by her father, a Saudi cleric.[6]
In 2016, she helped to lead a campaign against the male guardianship system in Saudi Arabia.[8] She "attempted to deliver to the Royal Advisory Council a 14,700-signature petition seeking to abolish the guardianship regulations but she was rebuffed and told to mail it."[5]
Around 15–18 May 2018, al-Yousef was detained by Saudi authorities, along with Loujain al-Hathloul, Iman al-Nafjan, Aisha Almane, Madeha al-Ajroush and two men involved in women's rights campaigning.[9][10][11] Human Rights Watch interpreted the purpose of the arrests as frightening "anyone expressing skepticism about the crown prince's rights agenda".[2] Saudi authorities accused the arrested activists of having "suspicious contact with foreign parties", providing financial support to "hostile elements abroad" and recruiting government workers.[12]
In 2019, it was reported that the Saudi authorities had detained her son, Salah al-Haidar.[13][14]
