In my most humble opinion,

It is not something that be ignored with a clear conscience or put out of mind, hence Adeel sharing it here.

To me there are three elements which are necessary to focus on.

!. This woman would not be on Siasat PK unless she has a direct or indirect connenction to Pak, that is to say she is more likely to be Pakistani than Saudi
2. This is a Pakistani Forum and she has chosen it for a reason to seek help out of sheer desperation. She seems educated because she writes in English. There is no hint that it is a scam to gain financial reward or some other pecunairy advantage

3. Following on from that I am sure she is aware that there are "Authorities" in Saudi from whom she Should or even COULD seek help, but it may not be an option, we do not know her circumstances and it maybe she fears a backlash

Now assume it is a genuine call for help. can Adeel or this forum generally walk away ignore it even worse tell her to go elsewhere ?

Imagine IF something does transpire tomorrow Allah Forbid, would Adeel in Particular and us all generally feel that we should have done something ? If that does turn out to be the case then this would be the historical juncture where the decision is made to try to do something. :)

Well my (humble) suggestion is to follow it up, seek more information, try to establish how it is she thinks Siasatpk can help. If there is nothing that can be done, then so be it BUT if there is something then we should all tey to do something about it

Perhaps thinking outsude the box, people IN Saudi are better placed to try and offer assistance or even advice as to where to go who to approach and who to avoid.

It is unlikely that anyone outside Saudi can do much.

Request to @Adeel email her back, say if we can help we will, but she needs to share her fears AND what she needs in the form of help. Only then can Siasatpk seek assisance to help her however possible from within Saudi and if possible outside.

We know nothing of her and even less of her husband a potential murderer !!

Kneejerk reactions like calling the Police or someone else may do ore harm than good.

Apologies if I wasted people's time but this is so unusual it merits attention and action

question:1- How she is reaching this forum?
2- No one on earth is available that is her relative and she can ask him to help?

Well if it's genuine request not for sake of fun ,let her call 999 from with in Saudi Arabia and inform about threat police ambulance all will report in 5 minutes.

Sure...why not only if Adeel trusts me and gives me her number :)

Then take the first step. I cannot think of anyone better on this forum for this task. We are after all here as Pakistanis and if this is all genuine then I would suggest that a female member is likely to gain trust easier than a guy. No disrespect to Adeel

He can email her to contact you first of course your number email twitter whatever means you young folk use to communicate these days

If there is a will there is a way and if there is a need there is an answer

Do your bit Younger sister
@Adeel An alternative for you in this post :)

Adeel,

is that it or she has any detail in the letter. Most likely its a hoax and scam. Ask her how did she get the siasat email, how long has she been on siasat etc. Interrogation will crack the truth out of it.

I have emails from several 'unfortunate people' from Liberia, Nigeria, etc. They all claim they are under duress and stuck in a hotel because they have been conned to get there. If I could send $1500 so they could buy airfare back to the US :lol:

Its a nigerian scam. They send out such emails in thousands using spam bots. If you respond back, there would usually be a STD infected black man replying back as a woman, begging you to send $500 over western union so that "she" can get transport relief.

Avoid and Delete.

Adeel, thats a tough call. Dont even know how the law agencies work in KSA. I have tagged about 70 users to this thread. Lets home someone knows how to tackle this issue in KSA.

I think the law should work same in every country in terms of individuals safety is threatened. If this is real, then the best course would be that local authorities/human right organizations should deal with such cases rather than individuals.

@Adeel - Even though you could track an IP address number of the computer, the real person, contact address etc. would be only by the local police who has the authority to deal with such threats.

thats exactly what i meant dude...talk to her :)

why not call when she has cared to mention her number?.......



@Adeel - If this is true, the next email from her would reveal it? If she ask for some money to fly back her and kids, then definitely it is prank. Because any women under such circumstances would only run away from the place if possible and rush to the protection of law agencies like police and not Siasat.com or its money.

I think it should be forwarded to saudi internet authority and news papers.
We should not assume it to be not genuine until proven otherwise.
