Saudi teen who fled family and barricaded herself in hotel is under protection of UN agency

Bangkok, Thailand (CNN)The father and brother of an 18-year-old Saudi woman who fled her family and barricaded herself in a Bangkok airport hotel room, saying she feared they would kill her, have arrived in Thailand, Thai officials said Tuesday.

Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun was released from the airport late on Monday and is now under the protection of the UNHCR and Thai authorities.
Thailand’s immigration police chief, Surachet Hakpal, told CNN that he would try to arrange a meeting between the family members if the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) allowed it.
