Rahaf al-Qunun: Thai official retracts asylum comments, as teen deletes Twitter account


Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) There was confusion Friday over where the 18-year-old Saudi woman who fled to Thailand to escape her allegedly abusive family would be resettled. Thailand's Immigration Police Chief Surachate Hakparn initially told CNN that Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun had been offered asylum by both Australia and Canada. Adding to the sense of uncertainty surrounding the case, the Twitter account used by Qunun throughout her appeal for asylum was deactivated. ABC reporter Sophie McNeill tweeted Friday that Qunun was "safe and fine" but had been "receiving a lot of death threats. She will be back on Twitter but for now she's apparently having a short break."
