Refleksi: Apakah ada penguasa Indoensia yang memperhatikan pengiriman dan keadaan TKW di Arab Saudia? Ataukah budak bertopeng pahlawan devisa?
http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1§ion=0&article=66825&d=12&m=7&y=2005&pix=kingdom.jpg&category=Kingdom Tuesday, 12, July, 2005 (05, Jumada al-Thani, 1426) Indonesian Maid Miyati Sent to Jail Maha Akeel, Arab News JEDDAH, 12 July 2005 - Nour Miyati, the Indonesian maid who was severely injured and lost limbs as a result of alleged torture by her sponsor - has been jailed. She was removed from hospital yesterday evening and taken to an unspecified public jail. Her embassy was not informed. Indonesian labor attache, M. Sukiarto, confirmed that the embassy was not informed of this development. "I'm very disappointed. I don't know why she was sent to jail," he told Arab News. In March, Miyati was taken to a Riyadh hospital by her sponsor in critical condition and severe injuries causing gangrene to her fingers, toes and part of her right foot; some of her fingers and toes had to be amputated. At first she claimed that her sponsor tied her up for a month in a bathroom and beat her severely injuring her eyes and knocking several of her teeth out. A report in May said that Miyati had retracted earlier accusations that her sponsor tied her up and tortured her. Consequently she was charged with making false allegations against her sponsor. The embassy was surprised by that report and asked for a reinvestigation because they claimed that Miyati was mentally unstable and under pressure because the embassy staff, her lawyer and the National Society for Human Rights were denied access to her during the investigation. Her sponsor and his wife were charged with assault and mistreatment; he was released from jail on bail and both are awaiting trial. Miyati was still at the Specialist Hospital receiving treatment when she was arrested and taken to jail. At the hospital she was assigned a helper to assist her. "She was taken to a public jail rather than the Maid Affairs Care Center because she should be still considered innocent until proven guilty. How is she going to manage alone in jail with her difficult medical condition and loss of fingers?" asked Sukiarto.
