RIYADH, Jan 8 — Saudi authorities have released a princess and her daughter who had been held without charge for nearly three years in the capital, a human rights group said today.
“Basma bint Saud Al Saud and her daughter Suhoud... have been released,” the ALQST for Human Rights said on Twitter. Reforms have included lifting a decades-long ban on women driving and the easing of so-called “guardianship” rules that give men arbitrary authority over female relatives.
