A representative of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) met Qunun at the airport and was to discuss the case with Thai immigration officials. Surachate also acknowledged for the first time Saudi embassy had alerted Thai authorities to Qunun’s arrival. “The Saudi Arabia embassy contacted the immigration police ... and said that the girl had run away from her parents and they fear for her safety,” he said. My family threatens to kill me for the most trivial things.”Qunun said she had obtained an Australian visa and booked a flight. New York-based Human Rights Watch said Thailand should not send Qunun back to her family because she says she faces danger.
