Sisters Makha and Wafa Al-Subaye from Saudi Arabia, who were hiding from the persecution of their relatives, left Georgia after they had been granted asylum in a third country.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on April 17, 28-year-old Makha Al-Subaye and 25-year-old Wafa Al-Subaye, two sisters from Saudi Arabia, hid in Georgia from the persecution of their relatives and appealed to the UN Refugee Agency for protection, since they feared to return to their homeland.

Sisters Makha and Wafa Al-Subaye, who fled from Saudi Arabia to Georgia, were granted asylum in a third country and left Georgia, the Georgian "First Channel" reported on May 7.

The sisters reported that they were leaving Georgia and going to another country to start a new life. The sisters do not disclose the country which granted them asylum.
