Hamzeh sent me this: "The negotiations between teh Saudis and the Indonesians failed because the
Indonesian side has put a set of "unacceptable" terms and conditions (how dare
they?!). Here is a sample of the "unacceptable" terms:
- issue laws in Saudi to ban inhuman treatment
- issuing of ID for new comers within a month (currently it is 3 months and is only issued after the Saudi boss is happy that the maid is "good" صالحة)
- notify the indonesian embassy if a maid has ran away
- not force any maid to confess against their will
- treat the indonesian maids similarly to Saudi nationals in front of courts
- renewals of work contracts should be done at the indonesian embassy (where officials can confirm the maids agreement to renewing)
