Foreign maids in the Middle East

"The Indonesian embassy in Amman said it will file a lawsuit against a Jordanian doctor who reportedly abandoned his Indonesian domestic helper near the Directorate of Chest Diseases and Foreigners' Health last week. Aminah, who was infected with tuberculosis, arrived in Amman last year. She was living in difficult conditions and subjected to physical abuse by her employer’s mother, Indonesian Deputy Ambassador Ari Wardhana told The Jordan Times on Sunday." (thanks Dina)
