Last week there was an uproar from the Indian human rights lobby in general and women’s groups in particular when news broke about the abuse of 2 Nepali women used as sex slaves by a Saudi diplomat stationed in New Delhi.
The women, who had originally been promised employment as maids, had been imprisoned in the diplomat’s luxury flat, tortured, starved, raped, sodomized, abused and beaten. They were also forced to provide sex for the diplomat’s friends when he so commanded them. One finally managed to escape and alerted the police and a human rights NGO. The Saudi diplomat’s wife reportedly had the gall to verbally abuse the police who raided the flat.
