Q. The Saudi human rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul was sentenced on Monday to five years and eight months in prison by a special court that handles terrorism crimes. How do you respond to such a sentence in a country that is a French ally?

A. As we have repeatedly stated publicly, we want to see Loujain al-Hathloul swiftly released. France reiterates its unwavering commitment to human rights and equality between men and women.
