Saudi sisters become latest women to plead for help to flee the kingdom on social media, claiming they are stranded in Georgia and face being killed if they are caught
Two Saudi sisters are the latest to plead for asylum from the kingdom on social media, claiming they could be killed if they are dragged back to their homeland.
The women identifying themselves as Maha al-Subaie, 28, and Wafa al-Subaie, 25, say they are stranded in the former Soviet republic of Georgia after fleeing the ultra-conservative state.
Using the Twitter account 'GeorgiaSisters' they allege their father and brothers are now in the country trying to hunt them down.
In January, 18-year-old Saudi Rahaf al-Qunun was granted asylum to Canada after posting on Twitter how she had barricaded herself within a Bangkok hotel room.

In a video posted to their Twitter account, Wafa says: 'My father and brothers arrived in Georgia and they are looking for us.
'We fled oppression from our family because the laws in Saudi Arabia are too weak to protect us. We are seeking the UNHCR protection in order to be taken to a safe country. Please help us to survive.'
In another video, Maha says: 'We want your protection. We want a country that welcomes us and protects our rights.'
The sisters claim they are in grave danger, writing: 'This is us we had to show our faces so if something happened to us people would remember us if that didn’t help us it may help other Saudi girls in the future.'

In January, Rahaf al-Qunun touched down in Toronto having been flown from Bangkok in Thailand via Seoul in South Korea.
After using Twitter to document her plight she garnered worldwide attention and the sympathy of Canadian authorities.

Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters at the airport: 'This is Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun a very brave new Canadian.'
But the strategy is extremely risky, as was shown by the case of Dina Ali Lasloom, 24, who tried to board a plane to Australia from Manila in the Philippines.

The Saudi embassy in Manila issued a statement at the time, calling the case a family matter and saying that Ms Lasloom had returned with her relatives to her homeland.

Funny how all these Muslims want to run away to the evil West.
