The lift of the ban on female drivers on June 24 marked a long-awaited moment for Saudi Arabia's activists.
6月24日，沙特的社会活动人士终于迎来了他们盼望已久的时刻，沙特解除了限制女性驾车的禁令。
But not everyone was celebrating.
然而，不是所有人都在庆祝这一成就。
That day, several leading figures of the Saudi women's-rights movement were still detained on unspecified charges,
当天，数名沙特女性权利运动领导者被扣押，但扣押原因不明，
facing up to 20 years in prison and unable to mark the achievement of a goal they had been working toward for years.
为之奋斗多年的目标终于实现，她们自己却没能亲眼见证胜利的一刻，摆在她们面前的是长达20年的牢狱之灾。
Loujain al-Hathloul, Aziza al-Yousef and Eman al-Nafjan are three of at least 11 people
五月，沙特展开了大规模镇压维权人士的活动，至少有11名与女权运动有关的人士被扣押，
linked to the Saudi women's rights movement who were detained as part of a broader crackdown in May.
鲁贾因·阿尔·哈德鲁，阿齐扎·阿尔·尤瑟夫和埃曼·阿尔·纳夫贾三人就在其列。
According to human-rights observers,
据人权观察员透露，
the women were targeted in a "smear campaign" on social media and state-linked media outlets.
被扣留的女性均为社交媒体和与国家有关的媒体上开展的一场“诽谤运动”的目标。
They were accused of being "traitors" to the state and collaborating with "foreign entities."
她们被控“背叛”国家，勾结“外国团伙”。

The 28-year-old had been one of the most visible activists advocating for Saudi women's right to drive,
年仅28岁的她是主张沙特女性驾车权最引人注目的活动家之一，
and was arrested and detained twice for defying the ban.

In 2014, she gained international attention when she posted a YouTube video of herself

attempting to drive across the border from the United Arab Emirates into Saudi Arabia and then livetweeted her arrest.

In 2015, she stood in the country's first elections that permitted women to run for office as well as vote but was disqualified from the ballot.
2015年，她参加了该国首次允许女性参加竞选和投票的选举，却被取消了投票资格。
AZIZA AL-YOUSEF
阿齐扎·阿尔·尤瑟夫
The 60-year-old longtime activist and retired computer science professor
花甲之年的她是资历颇深的一位社会活动家，也是一名退休的计算机科学教授，
was involved in organizing a 2016 online petition that gathered more than 14,000 signatures against the Saudi male-guardianship system.

The prolific blogger's social media accounts have been silent since arrests began on May 15.

reporting news "straight from the source."

But it was her defense of human rights that Amnesty International said made her a target for harassment and interrogation.

she wrote in 2013, calling on the government to finally commit to lifting the driving ban.
