A person close to the young woman’s family, who asked to reserve her identity, said that the teenager suffers from severe depression and has shown behavior that puts her life at risk, “she does not want to continue being unjustly detained.”
They also point out that the young woman has not received adequate counseling and psychological care.

We demand her immediate release and hold police officials and the national government responsible for what may happen to her and all those detained in the same condition,” said another acquaintance of the young woman.
