'We are in a very dangerous situation,' Kuwait's five sisters plead for help to stay in Turkey
Five Kuwaiti sisters, including two minors, say they escaped domestic violence and sexual abuse, and are now beseeching Turkish authorities and civic groups for a safe life.
ANKARA — Alnoud Alsaeedi, 23, who along with her four sisters — Sara (22), Noora (20), Maryam (15) and Aisha (12) — fled to Turkey, told Al-Monitor on Thursday that they are fearful of being forcibly returned to Kuwait weeks after what they describe as escaping sexual abuse, violence and death threats in their country of origin.
In a video that went viral on Twitter this week, Alnoud, the older sister, pleaded for help from civic and human rights groups to stop their potential forced return to their home country, saying that they were about to be forcibly returned to their family.
