Tortured Filipino maid faces fresh snag in repatriation
(MENAFN- Arab News) The female Filipino domestic helper who was allegedly scalded by her employer in May this year is now facing a case of slander filed by her sponsor resulting in a delay in the repatriation of the domestic help.
In his letter to Blas F. Ople Policy Center Philippine Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ezzedin Tago said the employer and his mother had filed a 'qadf' saying that Fahima had falsely accused them of scalding her with hot water. He said the prosecutor had dismissed the public rights case against the employer's mother for throwing hot water on her maid.
According to the envoy Fahima had already received monetary compensation from the Philippines and Saudi recruitment agencies. However this new development has led to a delay in her repatriation.
Tago said that Fahima is in good health but there are several developments in her case. 'I have asked for a full assessment of the case from the GPH (Government of the Philippines) hired lawyer' Ambassador Tago added. He said that before he went on leave he had met with the MFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Undersecretary for Consular Affairs specifically to represent Fahima's case.
Referring to another case of a Filipino minor Fatima who was apparently recruited through a Philippine agency involved in human trafficking the envoy said that the child had already been repatriated to the Philippines on Aug. 14. Fatima had managed to seek shelter at the PH-rented shelter Bahay Kalinga in Riyadh.
Meanwhile an anti-human trafficking Filipino group has appealed for help to repatriate and obtain justice for a 13-year-old Filipino who was allegedly being maltreated by her employer in Riyadh as she was unfit for household chores.
The young Filipino from Sarangani Province in Mindanao arrived in Riyadh on April 20 this year to work with a family here. Subsequently the family members unhappy with her work began to abuse her physically with beatings.
