A Libyan woman who said she was raped by troops<\/a> loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, has landed at a UN centre in Romania, a week after being deported back to Libya\u00a0by Qatar<\/a>, the UN refugee agency has said.<\/p>\n

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR] said on Tuesday that\u00a0Iman Al-Obeidi\u00a0had been\u00a0taken to a UN refugee transit centre in the western Romanian city of Timisoara.<\/p>\n

“She is currently being cared for by UNHCR staff along with other refugees who have been evacuated from a number of difficult locations in the world,” Machiel Salomons, UNHCR representative in Romania, said.<\/p>\n

Salomons said al-Obeidi was evacuated from Libya on Sunday by UNHCR staff and flown to Romania via Italy, arriving at the refugee camp late that day.<\/p>\n

Claudia Liute, the UNHCR spokeswoman, said: “It is a delicate case and I can’t say more. She will leave Romania in a maximum of six months.”<\/p>\n

The UN centre is a temporary haven for refugees from around the world awaiting resettlement to a third country.<\/p>\n

The announcement\u00a0comes almost two days after Marwa al-Obeidi,\u00a0Iman’s sister, said that she was on her way to the US. Marwa has said that Iman wants to move to the US.<\/p>\n

Al-Obeidi spent nearly a month in Qatar before authorities there forced her and her parents to board a flight last week to Benghazi in Libya\u00a0in violation of international law, the UNHCR said.<\/p>\n

She left Qatar having reportedly suffered\u00a0bruises to her body.<\/p>\n

Obeidi, 29, made headlines in March when she rushed into the Rixos Hotel in Tripoli,\u00a0the Libyan capital, where most foreign correspondents were staying, and\u00a0recounted her story of being stopped at a checkpoint, dragged away and gang-raped by Gaddafi troops.<\/p>\n

Her claims could not be independently verified.<\/p>\n
