6 months home for Eman Al-Obeidi?
UNHCR spokeswoman Claudia Liute said Tuesday that Eman al-Obeidi arrived in Romania alone on a flight from Italy late Sunday.
Liute says the 29-year-old is staying in a refugee transit center in the western Romanian city of Timisoara where she can remain for up to six months.

“The Centre enables refugees to undergo personal interviews required for resettlement, in the safety of a stable environment rather than in a war zone or in sites where access is very challenging,” explains ICMC Europe Programme Manager, Petra Hueck.
Jointly managed by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Romanian Government and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the ETC was established in Timisoara in 2008 to provide a solution for refugees needing emergency evacuation. The centre provides a temporary safe haven for refugees pending final resettlement to a third country.

cabbage. what care she needs? publicity? and subsequent career and money.. yeah.. good luck.. one who has been raped and has gone through psycological trauma, who really needs psycological help and support, goes to psychologist, not to the media .. no need to BS here..
All the pressure from various quarters must have finally had its effects and the parties concerned must be just wishing for the whole story to blow away like it was a bad day.
At least she is somewhere safe now and I hope she is looked after and afforded all the care she needs.
