The Saudi 18-year-old girl who fled her family fearing they would kill her after she rejected Islam has arrived in Toronto.
Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun garnered support around the world this week as people learned how she had barricaded herself in a Bangkok airport hotel room to resist being sent home to her family.
Her family deny any abuse, but Ms al-Qunun refused to meet her father and brother who arrived in Bangkok to try and fetch the teen.
Instead, she took a Korean Air flight from Bangkok to Seoul on Friday and then a connecting flight to Toronto.
