Some people tell me she had run away with her Muslim boyfriend and they had been stopped at a checkpoint outside Mosul; others say she had been seen by her father and uncle just talking with the boy in public and, fearing her family's reaction, they had sought protection at the police station.
Andre berettede, at hun var løbet bort med sin muslimske kæreste, og at de var blevet standset ved et checkpoint uden for Mosul; andre igen sagde, at hun blot havde snakket med drengen offentligt, hvilket var blevet set af hendes far og onkel, og i frygt for hendes families reaktion, søgte hun beskyttelse på politistationen.
