A couple months back, a maid was forcibly thrown from the 7th floor in a high-rise apartment in Kuwait. The incident occurred at Sabah el-Salem where the maid said that she was escaping from her boss who was trying to kill her.
The incident caused an outrage and the cruel boss was eventually arrested. The maid Adesech Sadik, an Ethiopian, survived the fall but with broken bones and bleeding ears and nose.
On the contrary, her former employer tried defending herself against the condemnations by the public arguing that Sadik was actually attempting suicide. The argument she fronted was not convincing as a video footage of her watching the maid fall without attempting to help went viral.
She has finally made it back home in Ethiopia and she was received by her family.
