Two Surinamese brothers were released from custody on Monday after they were detained in connection with the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, missing in Aruba.
A judge released the brothers, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, because of lack of evidence in the case.
?The criminals will not only be allowed to walk freely among the tourists and citizens of Aruba, but there are no limits as to where they may go,? Beth Halloway Twitty, mother of the missing girl told The Associated Press. ?I?m asking all nations not to offer them a safe haven.?
Although Twitty believes the released suspects have critical information about her daughter, one suspect, 17-year-old Jaron van der Sloot, is still in police custody.
Sloot was with Holloway prior to her disappearance and will remain in custody for 60 more days.
?All three of those boys know what happened to her,? Twitty told the AP.
She said she would continue to look for her daughter, who has been missing since May 30.
Holloway disappeared in Aruba while on a senior trip with 124 other students.
Americans, especially women, have problems in other countries because of perceived stereotypes, which can come from the media, said Lynn Elliot, director of International Study Programs at BYU.
?A stereotype view is shaped by how women are portrayed in movies,? Elliot said.
He said movies portray women as wanting to party and people assume that?s how all college-aged students act in America.
Because of that stereotype, it is important that students not be alone in a foreign country or stay out late, Elliot said.
BYU students should take precautions while traveling in foreign countries to avoid potentially unsafe situations, especially in unfamiliar surroundings.
Elliot said the International Study Program gives a security briefing to students before they go to foreign countries, but students are ultimately responsible for their safety.
?All students are legal adults,? Elliot said. ?The university can give advice, but it?s up to student to choose whether or not live by that advice.?
