Rahaf Mohammed
Rahaf Mohammed (formerly Rahaf Mohammed Mutlaq al-Qunun Al-Shammari; Arabic: رهف محمد مطلق القنون الشمري; born 11 March 2000) is a Saudi woman best known for her escape from her Saudi family and her appeals for asylum.
She was detained by Thai authorities on 5 January 2019 while in transit through an airport in Bangkok, en route from Kuwait to Australia. She had intended to claim asylum in Australia and escape her family who she says abused her and threatened to kill her for, among other reasons, leaving Islam, an act that is a capital offence under Saudi law. After she appealed for help on Twitter and gained significant attention, Thai authorities abandoned their plans to forcibly return her to Kuwait (from where she would be repatriated to Saudi Arabia), and she was taken under the protection of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and granted refugee status. On 11 January 2019, she was granted asylum in Canada and arrived in Toronto the next day.
Since her settlement in Canada, she has written a memoir.
Rahaf was born on 11 March 2000. Her father is the town governor of al-Sulaimi in the Ha'il Region. She has nine siblings. She was raised in a Wahabist family.
She has claimed that her family had locked her up for months, subjecting her to physical and psychological abuse. Her father has denied abusing her. On one occasion, Rahaf's mother lit a match and tried burning her alive after Rahaf was accused of having premarital sex. Rahaf also said that her cousin threatened to kill her because she no longer follows Islam. Public apostasy in Islam is a crime punishable by death according to the Sharia law of Saudi Arabia.
Rahaf complained of restrictions placed on her as a child, including not being allowed to leave the house without a male guardian. According to her account, she was beaten when her parents caught her kissing a girl and the restrictions intensified. She also stated that she was raped one night while taking a taxi home, but felt unable to tell her family.
based on the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol, I'm rahaf mohmed, formally seeking a refugee status to any country that would protect me from getting harmed or killed due to leaving my religion and torture from my family.
