Saudi Woman 'trapped At Bangkok Airport Trying To Flee Family'
//A young Saudi woman says she is stranded at Bangkok's main airport after fleeing her family and having her passport seized by a Saudi official.
Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun says she was on a trip to Kuwait with her family when she fled on a flight two days ago.
She was trying to head to Australia via a connecting flight in Bangkok.
She told the BBC that she had renounced Islam, and feared she would be forcibly returned to Saudi Arabia and killed by her family.
Thai police Maj Gen Surachate Hakparn told the BBC that Ms Mohammed al-Qunun was escaping a marriage. Because she did not have a visa to enter Thailand, he said police had denied her entry and were in the process of repatriating her through the same airline she had taken, Kuwait Airlines.
Gen Surachate said he was unaware of any passport seizure.//

She says her passport was seized by a Saudi diplomat on arrival in Bangkok, but the Bangkok authorities weren't aware she had no passport - only that she had no visa which is why she was denied entry. Very odd.

Imagine, your father turns up and your anxiety increases because of it.
If this girl is sent back to Saudi, I give up with the world.
Bring on the alien invasion.
