KUWAIT CITY, Oct 30:
An Ethiopian housemaid was beaten to
death by her sponsor inside the latter’s house in Firdous area. According to
security sources, Farwaniya securitymen had been conducting investigations over
the death of a housemaid.
Autopsy had revealed traces of physical abuse on the corpse.
During their investigations, securitymen discovered that the victim’s sponsor
had beaten her to death because of the victim’s lack of concern for the
cleanliness of the house.
After securitymen detained the suspect for investigations,
the latter admitted to beating her housemaid but insisted that it was not
premeditated. A case was registered against her and referred to the Public
Prosecution.

How long is this culture of abuse against domestic workers going
to continue? Safa Al-Hashem: Where are you and your outrage against expats
when one of the expat community is tortured to death by a Kuwaiti sponsor? Can’t these foreign domestic workers be
replaced by Kuwaitis – just as you have suggested that Egyptian plumbers be
replaced by Kuwaitis? Perhaps only then
will these horrendous acts of cruelty cease.
Alternatively: Death for those who cause death.
