HONG KONG - Two Saudi sisters fleeing what they described as beatings and repression in their home country have been granted an extension to stay in Hong Kong until next month, their lawyer said.
The women said the connecting flight was canceled and they were intercepted by officials who tried to put them on a flight to Riyadh. They managed to escape and enter Hong Kong as visitors, lawyer Michael Vidler said.“Hong Kong immigration authorities have confirmed that the presence of the HK Saudi sisters in Hong Kong will be further tolerated until April 8, 2019,” Vidler wrote in a statement posted on his firm’s Facebook page.
The sisters, aged 18 and 20, whose identities have not been revealed, say they could face death if they are deported.
jamespomfret Again same dirty game.This is family dispute but Reuters and paid press diverted it to human crisis exactly same as Rahaf’s story or any dispirited woman but overlooked that half of Saudi population is female (10M).This is an ultimate model of the ugly face of Western press
