Although some cultural and social changes made by bin Salman are similar to those of Al-Hathloul’s, she got imprisoned with others for those ideas.
Why? Because bin Salman did not forget her that she once said no.

Severe Torture
For citizens to have the courage to say “no” is among tyrants’ fears, and Loujain said no to the palace.

Her brother, Walid Al-Hathloul, said in a tweet “While I was talking to Loujain today, I blamed her for telling me that she is fine while she was detained in a secret prison and subjected to torture during the first month of her detention. She replied: what could I do, they put the electricutor on my ears to torture me if i said anything”.
