I commend her for getting away and denouncing Islam and their barbaric laws but you open the gates to one... just saying... She didn't intend to stay in Thailand, it was a stop-off destination for Australia, to which it seems she has a visa for.. You live in Thailand right? Maybe you should return home as this isn't your homeland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobz Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I wonder if there is some sort of anti Saudi campaign orchestrated by the CIA going on in media starting with the embassy in turkey killing. I mean that it's all staged somehow. *Adjusts tinfoil hat* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formaleins Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Now that the father is arriving, this young girl needs to get to Australia ASAP. I noticed the interview with the Thai immigration cop, and how Thailand was the land of smiles! - I expect there will be bigger smiles for her dad when he gets here. If the Thais had been serious, they would never have detained her in the first place, nor confiscated her passport. What isn't clear is does this girl have the onward ticket portion to Australia?

varun Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Her passport has been returned to her, according to a recent article. Although, pretty sure the Saudi government will revoke her passport, if they haven't so already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchadian Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Sophie McNeil, ABC reporter who was in the hotel room with Rahaf said that she would very interested to hear from Minister Dutton if this is correct or not? I’ve seen Rahaf’s Australian visa which was valid - but yesterday when she was trying to log into her immigration online profile that appeared to no longer be working? Keen to hear more from the Minister. Also in my sleep deprived state I have referred to the wrong Minister - apologies, DavidColemanMP would now be the one who knows if this is correct or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Seems that she is claiming that a Saudi official took her passport at the airport in Bangkok.

This is not about flaunting and circumventing the immigration laws, unless you are referring to what the Saudi Diplomat allegedly did and then that would probably come under a different law. Remember that the airline would not have allowed the passenger onto the plane without a passport. So the passenger would have originally been in possession of a passport when the plane touched down in Bangkok and we have not heard any denials from the Aussie government regarding her claim that she had a visa for that country. So no flaunting of laws on her part. Instead, Thailand has decided to adopt the international rules and norms on refugee status, nothing more or less.

BestB Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 3 hours ago, Aussie999 said: Wrong, for a start she has a visa to enter Australia, she can then put her case to the Australian officials, no different to sports team members, other countries diplomats etc, who also apply for asylum. Another thing, she did not go through Thai immigration, so technically did NOT enter Thailand, without a visa, Thai immigration are full of crap. Not only that, she does not need visa , Saudi get 30 day visa exempt stamps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to Prawit: If another country has offered her asylum, you DO NOT have to SEND her, just let her complete her journey!!

chainarong Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Get the oZ Embassy in there and post haste get the young lady down to Australia , they can work on the problems from Oz and regardless what Saudi says, after certain recient events, they can't be believed at anytime.

spidermike007 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The current administration only showed the gravitas to stand up to the Saudis, after a media storm went viral, and worldwide. This was a huge loss of face, and they responded. I am glad they did. I would have to consider anyone who wanted to leave that desperate nation to be a refugee. She sounds like she has been mistreated her whole life, by foolish men, who are locked in the dark ages. Things have changed guys, so lets get with the times! If they extradite her, she will be put to death. It is a capital crime to renounce Islam, based on Sharia law. That is how insecure, and paranoid some of these people are. A person should be free to make their own choices, and follow their own will, when it comes to faith and religion. Sharia is the most dangerous form of religion on the planet. And it must be resisted, in whatever way it can be resisted. Kudos to this woman, for taking a stand. And thankfully, the media pressure forced this weak government to do the right thing, as they would never do so on their own accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If she was in transit and never actually entered Thailand, I wonder if any reporter would have the balls to ask questions about airport security and just how a Saudi diplomat managed to get into the restricted airside without problems ?

Please don't get me wrong I do care about people and the need to help but because Thailand stopped her she is there responsibility and there that's where she must find asylum, trusting your in safe hands young lady. Rubbish ! you need to learn between genuine refugees and queue jumping economic refugees. seems that determination is made by the oz government and not a tv poster despite the number of rhodes scholars on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
