A Saudi rights activist who was detained for 73 days for flouting the country’s ban on female drivers has been arrested again.

Loujain al-Hathloul was picked up at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam on 4 June, the human rights group Amnesty International says.

It says Ms Hathloul has been denied access to a lawyer or her family. Ms Hathloul was arrested in 2014 when she tried to drive into Saudi Arabia from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that forbids women from driving.

Authorities have not disclosed the reason for Ms Hathloul’s latest arrest.
