For months we have been watching the life and death drama of seventeen year old Rifqa Bary.

Rifqa ran away from home over the summer after her devout Muslim father threatened her life for converting to Christianity. Currently she is foster care in Ohio, but things are getting complicated. 

Rifqa returned to court on Tuesday to see if she will be forced to return to her home even though she fears for her life.

New evidence emerged that her family, which is originally from Sri Lanka, is in the country illegally. Rifqa turns 18 in August, and is hoping to stay in foster care until then. If she is deported or forced to live with her family her life is at risk of a Muslim honor killing. 

TAKE ACTION:

Pray for Rifqa and then help us keep the pressure on Ohio officials to keep her safe.

Contact Ohio Governor Strickland today and demand that he keep Rifqa safe from her father's threats.
