A 55-year-old Indian woman had her right hand chopped off by her Saudi employer after complaining about working conditions, her family says. She had moved to Riyadh to work as a maid just five months earlier. “When she tried to escape harassment and torture, her right hand was chopped off by the woman employer,” her sister said. The incident prompted Indian diplomats to file a complaint with Saudi authorities, and the woman’s family says her assailants have been taken into custody.
