My sister's ex boy riend is harassing her and her husband by calling and email her againa nd again even though has been asked not to. This is causing tension in their relationship. I want to help my sister and the sweet brother-in-law keep this pervert away! But the problem is he is from Midle East (Guess why he is a P***) and not a US citizen who was in US for a few years till a couple of years back. If he was in US I know my sister could have gone to any Police Office and asked for a Restraining Order. But I am not aware of the process for an International Restraining Order. I know they are out there, but are rare as not many people have bad international relationships like my unfortunate sister did. Please help with any input, links or contacts! - God bless.

There is no such thing as an "International Restraining Order". Some countries may have agreements to honor another countries orders but I can't say which. I certainly wouldn't think that any of the "Camel Countries" give a crap considering the way they view women. She can get one in her own state even though he is not a citizen. He was a resident here at one time and they were in a dating or co-habitation relationship (if they lived together). She should make a complaint each time he violates the order. Then the police can get a warrant for his arrest. The next time he enters the country he will be arrested at the airport, provided immigration does their job and checks for warrants and he enters at a place her state will extradite from. Short of that, the only way to avoid the annoyance is to change her phone number and e-mail address and return his letters unopened.

I totally understand believe me, but your sister needs to change her email address, and number, i know i know its such a hassle, but the see the rainbow you have to deal with a little rain. so that stops the harrassing from overseas, then if he ever does come to the states she can actually get the paperwork started, and if he ever shows up to her home she can serve the papers, so that keeps her safe at home. just a phone call away will bring the police officers right over. But be careful some people become awfully scary when rejected keep that in mind.

You would have to check with an attorney in the middle eastern country since someone over there would likely have to file the paperwork (providing that country has laws against this behavior. Remember the culture is quite different). It may be easier to get a call block on his number (e-mail block for the e-mail) or if he calls from different numbers tell your sister that she may want to think about changing her number and making the new number unlisted.

Being legally armed and ready to defend yourself is your last line of defense & one that you definitely need to establish here.Read Gavin De Becker's "The Gift Of Fear"- a very good read, and this man is security consultant for celebs, government, Secret Service, you name it. He will teach you how to hone your intuition and what to really be afraid of & what to do about it rather than living in a perpetual state of fear. He lists Pre-Incident indicators and other signs to give you a way of accurately assesing the threat level you are confronted with.
