Right now, like RIGHT NOW, an 18-year-old Saudi woman is being dragged to a @KuwaitAirways flight in Bangkok to be sent back to the family she fled last week. She has requested asylum and fears she will be killed if she goes home.
.@USEmbassyBKK Why are you silent on #Rahaf? No one there wants to be a hero? No one wants to represent the stated values of the country you serve?
Here’s background: nytimes.com/2019/01/06/wor…
Will the world watch another Saudi woman be kidnapped? Loujain al-Hathloul was taken from the UAE and has spent almost a year in prison. @rahaf84427714 believes she will be killed. #SaveRahaf
This is terrible #GoldenGlobes content.
From @monaeltahawy, who anyone interested in this should follow.
I’m just consolidating info from more knowledgeable people, including @Ana3rabeya, @rerutled, and @Reaproy. But it appears the flight took off without Rahaf. Now she needs asylum.
@USEmbassyBKK - u up?

Normally this would be a good moment for the US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia or Thailand. But we don’t have either right now because @realDonaldTrump is an incompetent cretin.
Hey US citizens, here’s a fun glimpse of your tax dollars at work! The State Department website lists @GlynTDavies as the Ambassador to Thailand.
He stepped down last September.

A great update from @Sophiemcneill, a journalist who was with Rahaf during her hotel room standoff:
