Saudi woman: 'We don't know freedom'
Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun is the Saudi woman who made headlines around the world when she became stranded at Bangkok's main airport. She said she had fled from her family after renouncing Islam, and feared for her life.
The 18-year-old has now been given asylum in Canada.
Her story has resonated with other women in Saudi Arabia. We hear from a young woman still in the kingdom who fears she may never be able to leave. To protect her identity, her words have been voiced by a producer from our team.
