OHIO — Religious runaway Rifqa Bary is now battling cancer.
Eyewitness News first reported in the summer of 2009 when Bary fled to Orlando from Ohio. The teenager claimed her Muslim parents threatened to kill her for converting to Christianity.
Rifqa's former Orlando attorney said she has already had two operations and will have a third procedure on Thursday to treat the uterine cancer.
Rifqa is currently living with a foster family in Ohio.
