: International Law BlogMigrant Workers in Saudi Arabia Killed
By Ptowns
Human Rights Watch is reporting that two migrant domestic workers were beaten to death in Saudi Arabia recently and two others critically injured. These Indonesian women were apparently beaten by a Saudi Arabian family for practicing black magic on the family's son.
About 2 million foreign women are employed as domestic workers in Saudi Arabia and routinely face abuses including verbal, physical, and sexual abuse and confinement. If these women come forward to complain they often face charges such as adultery or witchcraft. Additionally, they face due process violations, such as lack of interpreters and no notice to their embassies.
