"I meant to end my life by standing in the street," the maid, 24, from Ethiopia told the Court.

She decided to kill herself after her sponsor refused to pay her for three months' work.

The maid was thrown out on September 10 after her sponsor complained about her work the previous day.

She asked for her salary for the previous three months to be sent to her family in Ethiopia, but was told her sponsor did not have the money. she had nowhere to go and did not know how to reach the agency that brought her to the UAE.

"I found myself thrown away and I thought of my poor family back home. I felt desperate and decided I should die"

The court found her guilty of attempting suicide and fined her Dh1,000.

Read this about a week ago. Pretty disgusting, and a textbook example of alienation.

I find it revolting but unsurprising how western bourgies make excuses for gulf slavery. Always justifying it by saying 'but we had our slaves so we can't say anything so let them go nuts'. I can't wait to see Qatar and the Emirates taken over one day and the petromonarch kicked to the curb.

The Gulf states have an appalling record with domestic servents, most of whom are from poorer countries in Africa and Asia. In many cases it goes from wage slavery to outright slavery as these people are at the mercy of their 'sponsors'.
