Another Cambodian maid escapes from Saudi Arabia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Maid repatriated from Saudi Arabia
Another Cambodian maid was repatriated from Saudi Arabia on Thursday after she was cheated by her employment brokers, a Labour Ministry official said on Saturday.

Othsman Hassan, a Labour Ministry secretary of state, said 22-year-old Ly Samros was abandoned by her employment agency and left alone with her employer in Saudi Arabia for 14 months.

Mr Hassan added that Ms Samros was forced to work overtime and feared for her safety. He said Ms Samros escaped her employer’s home and contacted the authorities to intervene.

“She’s the fifth woman I have rescued from Saudi Arabia after they were cheated by their brokers,” Mr Hassan said. “They were working there illegally.”

It's not exactly exceptional though, Cambodian migrants to neighboring states often suffer horrific conditions and terrible abuse, and who even knows what happens those who go to the Gulf? There need to be better support systems so people can check back home and not undergo years of slavery.
Yes, in a very nearby country the same happens. First hand observation. Then again, happens to many travelling via the "ww.rendition agency" as well. Lets not forget, MRGA.
