Misery of the housemaids (4)

A 30-year-old Nepalese maid was found dead in her room at Hafr al-Batin, Saudi Arabia, on Friday. The unnamed woman is reported to have hanged herself. She was said to be "suffering psychological duress and had recently refused to work".

Less than a week ago an Indonesian maid died after falling from a building in Mecca.
