Nathalie Morin is a French Canadian born citizen who has been held against her will in Saudi Arabia by her husband, Saeed Al Sharahni, and the Saudi Arabian laws since 2005. Although she states she has an amicable relationship with her husband, she claims that she is physically and psychologically mistreated and sequestrated. She has stated that she "does not have any friend[s]" in Saudi Arabia and is shunned because of her foreign roots.[1]

She has become famous in Quebec. Journalists follow her misfortunes regularly and the newspapers (ref 3). In 2012, the Canadian and Saudi Arabian governments came close to a deal, but it is still in progress. (reference 3)

A Saudi Arabian writer and political activist, Wajeha al-Huwaider, has tried to help her, but without any success so far.
