新奇事件簿 沙特少女得到加拿大庇护(在线收听) |
The teenage Saudi asylum seeker who fled Saudi Arabia two weeks ago has been granted asylum by Canada. Rahaf Mohammed Alqunun, 18, arrived at Toronto's Pearson International Airport on Saturday. She was greeted by Canada's Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, who told reporters: "This is a very brave new Canadian." She added: "Rahaf wanted Canadians to see that she has arrived at her new home. She has had a very long and tiring journey and so would prefer not to take questions today. And she is now going to go to her new home."Rahaf was all smiles as she was whisked through the airport wearing a hoodie emblazoned with the word "Canada". 两周前从沙特阿拉伯逃出的寻求庇护者的青少年得到了加拿大的庇护。18岁的拉哈夫·穆罕默德·阿尔库农于周六抵达多伦多皮尔逊国际机场。加拿大外交部长克里斯蒂亚·弗里兰接待了她,外长告诉记者:“这是一名非常勇敢的新加拿大人。”她还说道:“拉哈夫想让加拿大人看到她已经抵达她的新家园。她经历了一次疲劳的长途旅行,所以她今天不会回答任何问题。现在她将前往她的新家。”拉哈夫穿着印有“Canada”字样的连帽衫,她一路微笑着被带离机场。 Rahaf is fleeing alleged abuse by her family, whom she claims want to kill her. She was detained in Bangkok on January 6th while trying to board a flight to Australia, where she initially wanted to seek asylum. She appealed for help on Twitter and her plight gained worldwide attention. She was then granted refugee status by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Canada's decision to grant asylum to Rahaf could worsen relations between Canada and Saudi. Relations are already strained after Canada called for the release of a jailed Saudi human rights activist. Saudi suspended new trade with Canada, froze Saudi flights to and from Toronto, and cancelled scholarships for Saudi students in Canada. 拉哈夫因所谓的遭受家庭虐待而逃离,她称她的家人想要杀了她。1月6日,她被扣留着曼谷,当时她想要登上去往澳大利亚的航班,起初她想要寻求澳大利亚的庇护。她在推特上求助,她的遭遇得到了全世界的关注。之后联合国人权委员会授予了她难民身份。加拿大庇护拉哈夫的决定可能恶化加拿大和沙特阿拉伯的关系。加拿大要求释放一名被监禁的沙特人权积极分子后,两国关系已经紧张。沙特暂停了与加拿大的新贸易,冻结了来往多伦多的沙特航班,并取消了加拿大沙特学生的奖学金。 |
