Saudi sisters trapped in Hong Kong seek visa extension as they scramble to secure safe haven

Hong Kong Two women who fled Saudi Arabia for Australia, only to become trapped in transit in Hong Kong, are seeking a last minute visa extension from the city's authorities as they try to secure a more permanent refuge.

Hong Kong only accepts a handful of asylum cases, and the sisters are believed to be in the process of applying for refugee status with a third country. The sisters' right to stay in Hong Kong expired Thursday, months after Saudi officials allegedly attempted to kidnap them at Hong Kong airport by trying to convince them to get on a flight home under false pretenses.

HongKongFP these women should be given asylum in Japan or Australia. They need your help, if the go back they can be beheaded.

Why should Australia have to pay the price for oppressive arabic cultures? You're not welcome here.

CNN ! there are millions of poor women in Africa! South America, Far East who are in dispirit need for food and they are welling to relocate to any country to work for food! Please help them and leave politics out! Do not just focous on kids wanting different lifestyle

if they were facing domestic violence? how did they pay for their tickets? they are 20 and 18 which is not a working age here in Saudi Arabia

Oppression and killing actually in Syria, Iraq not Saudia! They are rich and seeks for refuge! Oppressed with expensive phone🤔

US pressure increased after downing of F16.

I only blame the Saudi government for things like that. They making the girls suffer just to leave the country. Thats nonsense.
