I realize this isn't typical Hacker News material, but Rahaf Mohammed Al-Qunun has just hours before she'll be forced on a plane back to Saudi Arabia where she will likely be killed for leaving Islam. Please contact your congresspeople and senators to stop this travesty of justice and offer her asylum in the US.

OK. IMHO the best thing that can be done is to write a guide for single Saudi women who're looking to renounce Islam and leave the country and establish citizenship elsewhere. The guide won't be perfect at first, and it may even get some killed, but it should evolve into something useful. There is no reason for the women to put up with Saudi brutality.
Obviously, Thailand was a wrong choice for this woman; other countries would have to be identified that could be better choices. The circumstances under which she was identified and detained in Thailand by the Saudis also need addressing.
