At least four more detained Saudi women activists were released pending trial on Thursday, campaigners said, bringing the total number of women provisionally freed to seven.

"Hatoon al-Fassi, Amal al-Harbi, Maysaa al-Manea, and Abeer Namankani were temporarily released," London-based rights group ALQST said on Twitter, adding there were unconfirmed reports about the release of a fifth activist.

Another campaigner close to the families of 11 women on trial told AFP five women had been temporarily released.
