Qunun has barricaded herself in her hotel room in fear that Thai immigration officials, who have congregated outside her hotel room door, would force her on to a plane to leave the country. Sarah Hanson-Young, a Greens senator from South Australia, called on Australia to act quickly to issue her with emergency travel documents. We can issue her w emergency travel docs so she can board flight to Australia & seek safety. Qunun told a Thai human rights worker her family kept her in her room for six months because she cut her hair. She has appealed for help from Australia, Canada, the United States, Britain, Germany, Sweden and other European nations.
