Alaa Al-Siddiq was described as a "tireless" human rights campaigner
An Emirati human rights activist who was the victim of a fatal road crash died of "multiple injuries", an inquest has heard.
Alaa Al-Siddiq, 33, from London, died in a collision at the junction of the A361 and the B4437 near Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire, on 20 June.
She was the executive director of London-based human rights group ALQST.
A pre-inquest review opened at Oxfordshire Coroner's Court and is due to resume on 16 December.
Coroner Darren Salter said: "[The] cause of death is given as multiple injuries."
Ms Al-Siddiq had been travelling in the back seat of a BMW, which was in collision with a Land Rover, and died at the scene.
Previously ALQST, which works to defend human rights in Saudi Arabia, described Ms Al-Siddiq as an "icon of the Emirati human rights movement".
