They have not done anything criminal - they are just being searched for questioning. I have been harbouring them but as every hour ticks along I get more and more nervous for myself, my future and am getting so fearful that they get found at my place. I have asked her to leave since I cannot jeopardize myself but I am feeling so guilty I cannot even breath.Where does friendship begin and end. We are all expats in the coutry and I do not have many friends but I do not know whether this falls within the scope of friendship.Thanks for your advice. Reply to this Question

Tell your friend to get a lawyer and expalin situation before they find her, the lawyer will contact police and go with them to station where they will be questioned. That should leave you out of it and you have given your friend the best advice.

 It is better for them to give them self up to the police . You cannot run forever from the law. This thing will hang over them forever .The earlier it is cleared , the better it is for them.
If your conscience is troubling you , you need to tell them that you cannot shield them forever and if they understand , they will leave you in peace.You have done more than a friend.Since you are an expat, you have to be extra careful that you don't break the law of that country.
