Abuse

Nour Miyati had to have several fingers amputated.She said the Saudi couple who employed her had bound her hand and foot and left her on a bathroom floor for a month without food.
She also said the wife had accused her of dressing immodestly around the house and had beaten her with a shoe knocking out several teeth.
Incredulity
But after a newspaper showed the maid black and blue, with bandaged hands, the authorities launched an investigation.
That has now concluded the gangrene came from an existing but unspecified disease but other injuries were caused by cleaning fluids used in the maid's work and that the bruising was self-inflicted or caused by a falling wardrobe.
Nour Miyati has now been charged with making false allegations.
Some Saudis are incredulous at all this.

No doubt. A falling wardrobe? Honestly. She prolly fell down the stairs.
Sigh.
