In her account to the NGO, the woman said that she was hired as a cook by the diplomat’s family. But she alleged that they ill-treated her and made her do a lot of cleaning and washing throughout the day, and did not allow her to rest.
The woman also told the NGO that she would be woken up early by a “lady” who was not of Saudi origin.
Sources have also said that the three women were kept separately and not allowed too much interaction.
“In her account to the NGO, the woman also mentioned a security guard who helped her get a mobile phone. However, police have not contacted the guard yet,” said an official.
