BANGKOK — The head of Thailand's immigration police said Monday that a young Saudi woman who was stopped in Bangkok as she was trying to travel to Australia for asylum to escape alleged abuse by her family will not be sent anywhere against her wishes.
Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun remained barricaded in an airport hotel room while sending out desperate pleas for help over social media. The 18-year-old began posting on Twitter late Saturday after her passport was taken away when she arrived in the Thai capital on a flight from Kuwait. She has been appealing for aid from the United Nations refugee agency and anyone else who can help.
On Twitter, Alqunun wrote of being in "real danger" if forced to return to her family in Saudi Arabia, and has claimed in media interviews that she could be killed. She told the BBC that she had renounced Islam and is fearful of her father's retaliation.
The U.N. refugee agency announced Monday evening that Thai authorities had allowed its officials to meet with Alqunun, but declined to give any details of their meeting, citing confidentiality.

Earlier in the day, Thailand's immigration police chief, Maj. Gen. Surachate Hakparn, said Alqunun's father would arrive Monday night, and that officials would see if the young woman was willing to depart with him.
"As of now, she does not wish to go back and we will not force her. She won't be sent anywhere tonight," Surachate said at a news conference at the airport where Alqunun is stuck.
"She fled hardship. Thailand is a land of smiles," he said. "We will not send anyone to die. We will not do that. We will adhere to human rights under the rule of law."
Alqunun's planned forced departure Monday morning was averted as she stayed in her hotel room, with furniture piled up against the door, photos she posted online showed.
Her plight mirrors that of other Saudi women who in recent years have turned to social media to amplify their calls for help while trying to flee abusive families. Alqunun's Twitter account has attracted tens of thousands of followers in less than 48 hours and her story has grabbed the attention of foreign governments and the U.N. refugee agency.
Her pleas for asylum have also brought international attention to the obstacles women face in Saudi Arabia under male guardianship laws, which require that women, regardless of their age, have the consent of a male relative — usually a father or husband — to travel, obtain a passport or marry.
It also shows the limits of reforms being pushed by Saudi Arabia's powerful Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman as he struggles to repair damage to his reputation after the grisly killing three months ago of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents in Istanbul.
Alqunun told Human Rights Watch that she was fleeing beatings and death threats from her male relatives who forced her to remain in her room for six months for cutting her hair.
A Thai court declined to issue an injunction against her being sent back to her parents in Kuwait, from where she began her journey. A family trip to Kuwait apparently allowed her to evade Saudi Arabia's restrictions on travel.
Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch, told The Associated Press that Thailand should give Alqunun back her passport and let her continue her journey to Australia.
"She has a valid Australian visa," he said. "The key thing is she should not be sent back to Saudi Arabia, she should not be sent back into harm's way."
Immigration police chief Surachate contradicted parts of Alqunun's story, including her claim that she had an Australian visa. However, he did not show her passport.
Some opposition figures in Australia urged that country's government to support Alqunun's efforts.
"I implore the government to do everything they can to help bring this young woman to Australia to give her the opportunity for freedom," said Australian Sen. Sarah Hanson Young.
For runaway Saudi women, fleeing can be a matter of life and death, and they are almost always doing so to escape male relatives.
In 2017, Dina Ali Lasloom triggered a firestorm online when she was stopped en route to Australia, where she had planned to seek asylum. She was forced to return to Saudi Arabia and was not publicly heard from again, according to activists tracking her whereabouts.

Saya akan dibunuh jika pulang'
BANGKOK: Seorang remaja Arab Saudi merayu suaka selepas ditahan di lapangan terbang Bangkok dalam perjalanan ke Australia apabila mendakwa berdepan penderaan psikologi serta fizikal oleh keluarganya termasuk kemungkinan dibunuh.
Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun, 18, memberitahu AFP, dia melarikan diri daripada keluarganya ketika bercuti di Kuwait dan merancang pergi ke Australia untuk memohon suaka.
Bagaimanapun, dia ditahan imigresen Thailand ketika penerbangannya transit di negara itu Sabtu lalu susulan pasportnya dirampas seorang pegawai Arab Saudi selepas bapanya membuat laporan bahawa dia berada di negara itu tanpa penjaga lelaki.
Menurut Mail Online, dakwaannya itu disahkan organisasi hak asasi manusia, Human Rights Watch.
Rahaf mendakwa didera keluarga dan mungkin akan dibunuh jika pulang ke negara asal kerana tidak mahu lagi mengamalkan Islam.
Sementara itu, semalam, Thailand membatalkan perancangan mengusir Rahaf ke Kuwait atas alasan keselamatannya terancam.
Ketua imigresen Thailand Surachate Hakparn memberitahu pemberita, Rahaf sepatutnya menaiki penerbangan Kuwait Airlines pagi semalam.
“Dia melarikan diri daripada keluarga untuk mengelak dikahwinkan,” katanya.
Bagaimanapun, Rahaf mengunci dirinya dalam bilik hotel untuk mengelak diiring ke pesawatnya dengan video dimuat naik ke Twitter menunjukkan pintu kamar itu dihadang meja.
Susulan itu, Surachate berkata, dia akan menemui pegawai agensi pelarian Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) untuk membincangkan permohonan suaka Rahaf.
Nasib Rahaf mendapat perhatian aktivis selepas dia menghantar tweet mendakwa dipaksa menaiki penerbangan Kuwait Airways untuk dihantar pulang dan merayu bantuan untuk menghalang pesawat itu berlepas.
Aktivis kemudiannya menggesa orang ramai membuat tempahan penerbangan tiket atas pesawat terbabit bagi menghalangnya berlepas.
Menurut news.com.au Rahaf mendakwa pernah dikurung dalam biliknya selama enam bulan kerana memotong rambut.
“Saya 100 peratus yakin mereka akan membunuh saya sebaik saya dibebaskan dari penjara,” katanya dipetik AFP.
