Rahaf Mohammed Facts
- She escaped her family in Saudi Arabia and has claimed that they had locked her up for months, subjecting her to physical and psychological abuse. One of her cousins also threatened to kill her because she no longer follows Islam. According to the Sharia law of Saudi Arabia, public apostasy in Islam is a crime punishable by death.
- When Rahaf Mohammed arrived in Canada in January 2019, she was greeted at Toronto Pearson International Airport by Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland.
- Following her receiving asylum in Canada, the Canadian government was accused by Saudi media of “an attempt at stirring up civil strife by inciting the Kingdom’s teenage girls to abandon social mores” in Okaz.
- In the aftermath of her fleeing Saudi Arabia, Rahaf Mohammed’s family released a statement disowning her: “We are the family of [Rahaf] Mohammed al-Qunun in Saudi Arabia. We disavow the so-called ‘Rahaf al-Qunun’ the mentally unstable daughter who has displayed insulting and disgraceful behavior.” Following this, she decided to drop “al-Qunun” from her name and to be known as “Rahaf Mohammed”.
- In a meeting with the Thai immigration office, Abdul-Ilah al-Shuaibi (Saudi Arabia’s chargé d’affaires in Bangkok) was quoted as saying: “When [Rahaf] first arrived in Thailand, she opened a new [Twitter account] and the followers reached about 45,000 within one day… I wish you had taken her phone, it would have been better than [taking] her passport.”
