FEMOCRAT has a chance to walk the walk for a sister
A Saudi woman is trapped at Bangkok airport after fleeing death threats for denouncing Islam— Rashida Tlaib, will you denounce this appalling violence against women?
A Saudi woman who is being held in Bangkok after trying to escape her abusive family has told of her terror that she will be killed if she is deported as planned in a few hours.
Rahaf Mohammed al Qunun, 18, has been trapped in the airport since arriving at 4am GMT on Sunday.
She intended to reach Australia and apply for asylum but a Saudi official in the Thai airport confiscated her passport after her father reported her for travelling without her male 'guardian'. He claimed she was mentally ill but failed to provide any evidence.
Rahaf is due to be escorted onto the Kuwait Airways flight 412 from Bangkok to Kuwait tomorrow morning.
This evening, speaking from an airport hotel room guarded by security officials, she said: ‘I am scared. My brother told me that he’s waiting with some Saudi men. They will take me to Saudi Arabia and my father will kill me, because he is so angry. He will kill me. My family do this. I know them. They kept telling me they will kill me if I do something wrong - they say that since I was a child.'

Moonbeam: Singh's killing has 'nothing to do' with sanctuary state law
During his final 48 hours in office, California Governor Jerry Brown says the death of Newman police Corpora Ronil Singh had "nothing to do" with the sanctuary state law.
"No, I don't think so," Brown said when asked if California's sanctuary state law leads to bad actors falling through the cracks.
"I think people now are looking to blame somebody because of the terrible things that happened," he continued later, "but it had nothing to do with the law of California."
Corporal Singh of the Newman Police Department was killed last month when he pulled over a man on suspicion of DUI. The man accused of killing him, Gustavo Perez Arriaga, is a Mexican national who was in the country illegally.
Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson a law which Brown signed in 2017 that prohibited law enforcement in the state from reporting Arriaga to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
