webfact Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Saudi boy forges documents to escape family to Thailand Habib Toumi, Bureau Chief Gulf News File photo Manama: A 14-year-old Saudi boy who forged a document to fly to Thailand has been reunited with his family. Ahmad Hassan Basheeri, an eighth grade student in a middle school in Samtah in southwestern Saudi Arabia, repeatedly told classmates that he wanted to travel abroad and go away. The school management alerted his father about the plans he shared with classmates. Ahmad, who has a passport, logged into a pre-travel account for minors and posing as his father gave permission to himself to travel abroad alone. He used the authorisation to book a ticket from Jizan to Jeddah, then onward to Kuwait, Doha and Bangkok. One day before the scheduled flights, Ahmad opened an account on Twitter and posted that he was a victim of domestic abuse and that he faced death threats.

You're assuming he would live to that age. Did you not read the death threats allegation? Now why would a Saudi family kill their son?

I might have had $50 or so in a bank account at the time. --But then again, I wasn't a Saudi teenager, where the government hands out oil money cash to everyone and their mother, brother, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
