Kuwait Airways 412 from Bangkok to Kuwait Jan 07

A young 18 year old from Saudi Arabia, Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun, is about to be deported from Thailand to Saudi Arabia via Kuwait aboard KU412 which is to leave in a few hours. She claims that she is facing death if she is deported back to Saudi Arabia but Thai authorities have refused to hear her claim and are forcibly deporting her.

There is quite a thread on the subject on Twitter right now with high profile personalities re twitting her pleas for help.

This reminds me of the UAE princess who was forcebly sent back to the UAE after she fled to India in a sailboat.

Can anything be done to help her and prevent her deportation ? Can the crew be made aware that they are sending a person back to persecution, torture or death ?

We all know what the Saudis are capable of.
