This photo made available by Danah al-Mayouf, shows prominent Saudi critic and women's rights advocate Danah al-Mayouf in April 2022, in New York City, where she has sought asylum since fleeing Saudi Arabia. Al-Mayouf is one of several Saudi women named in a complaint unsealed last month in federal court in Brooklyn, alleging she was harassed by a Saudi man who has now been arrested on charges of lying to federal officials about using a fake Instagram account to bully critics of the kingdom in the U.S. and Canada.
