Sumiati is a 23 year old who arrived in Saudi Arabia last July to start work as a maid to help support her family back home in Indonesia. She was excited to help her three younger siblings through school. Three weeks ago, she was admitted to the hospital unconscious, suffering malnutrition and blood loss, and could barely speak. Her employer is accused of cutting off part of her lips with scissors, scalding her back with an iron, fracturing her middle finger, and beating her legs until she could hardly walk.
Human Rights watch says this isn't uncommon. "Their employers are locking them up, taking away their passports, and aren't letting them keep a phone."
My deduction? I'm glad I still live in a Judeo-Christian country. Because in the end, it's what you believe in your core that determines your actions. The kind of monster that would do this has no soul... a black heart... and is void of conscience.
