I bet members of the Canadian Government will not be making visits to the Saudi embassy any time soon

she will lose her cultural identity and her family ...

It's a shame that the Australian Government missed the opportunity to resettle this brave young woman. Given her situation, this matter should have been dealt with far more urgently.

Would have happened quickly and on a weekend if it was a mate’s au pair!

How long would a male have been allowed in that hotel room in Bangkok, before he was led away to jail. Less than a day im guessing. Anyone who hasnt figured out the entire episode was engineered yet needs to wake up. Sorry if it messes up your narrative SaveRahaf. stopthebs

And just like that, Leftards forgot the Islam angle and blamed Australia.

Dutton must be embarrassed

Meanwhile the rest of brave people are staying in refugee camps around the world, including Australian

Aussies are too slow to make a decision. Look st some refugees in Oz takes years for someone to make a decision. Useless, employ me I would make a decision.

We are not interested anymore it's becoming boring .

Saudi Arabia should be internationally pressured about the blatant human right abuses of its citizens and especially women within its Kingdom. Sadly however, this is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future for geopolitical, economics, and trade reasons

Brave

Best wishes to her in her new life. I'm glad Canada stepped in where Australia stumbled.

I did note that the article chose not to include the disgraceful neglect of the Australian government who took far to long to decide if they should offer her freedom or not. Shame on my government, shame.

Detained Saudi woman arrives in Canada to begin new lifeTired but smiling, an 18-year-old Saudi runaway who said she feared death if deported back home arrived Saturday in Canada, which had offered her asylum in a case that attracted global attention after she mounted a social media campaign. Took advantage of the chumps: Canada. Almost every Aussie must know this by now. So will Canada take in every disgruntled Arab teen? Why the special treatment? Seems arbitrary. Wonder what the Refugees agency did to consider this a genuine case and why this doesn't apply to countless others?

Saudi asylum seeker Rahaf Alqunun arrives in CanadaEighteen-year-old Saudi runaway Rahaf Alqunun arrived in Canada today arm-in-arm with the country's foreign minister after a 'very long and tiring journey'. This is a victory for Women in the Misogynistic Islamic World. Every woman that rejects Islam is a victory for Humanity. Spoiled brat. Daddy probably would not buy her a horse. Don’t believe her story. Remember the young Aussie boy that traveled Bali because his mum said no to something Trendy, chic dresser.

'Never alone': Saudi teen Rahaf Alqunun gets guard to ensure safety in CanadaThe refugee agency contracted by the Canadian government to help Saudi teenager Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun settle in Toronto has hired a guard for her safety.

Saudi teen Rahaf Alqunun to avoid deportation from ThailandA young woman has been thrown into the international spotlight after her plea for help on social media. Rahaf Alqunun says she fears for her life if she's sent back to Saudi Arabia and she's seeking asylum in Australia. Sophiemcneill ThomasOriti Is it true that Dutton has cancelled her visa? Sophiemcneill ThomasOriti Good, she is with the UN, that is how things should be handled as they will look at her case and find her a safe haven. Any adult, who is not a criminal, should be able to seek refuge when it is so clear that they would otherwise be treated as a form of slave, property. Sophiemcneill ThomasOriti Is it true that Dutton has cancelled her Aussie visa? If so, why? This case is very different from those who came from no threat in Indonesia via people smugglers’ boats. This would seem, if story is true, to be a genuine case of fleeing from possible death to seek asylum.

Damn sight better option than Australia (at the moment).

Did he commit the crime? Why should our government be responsible for bailing out criminals in other countries just because they are Australian? I really do not understand the logic behind it. If he did something criminal then NO WAY we should help. Tough shit if you risk doing crime and get busted. That girl only wants to get away from evil and she has no record on doing crime.
