Thailand: fled Saudi to Canada

The Saudi teenager who had entrenched herself in Thailand, fearing her family, is probably going to Canada.

Rahaf had boarded a plane in Australia in Kuwait. She said she had renounced Islam, where the death penalty is in Saudi Arabia, and that she was mistreated by her family. She was stopped at a transfer in Thailand. The authorities wanted to send her back, but she barricaded herself in a hotel room and made an alarm via Twitter. That worked. She received worldwide attention and prevented her from being sent back.
