One day her employer allowed her to call and she made a call to Ethiopia and told us that "she will fly back the next day, unless she is dead". The next day the employer called and said she has passed away. All was tried to get information from Beirut, but the documents they sent, of course, states that it was a suicide. There was a definite foul play but to our heart break we couldn't do anything at all and had to accept her coffin for burrial in Ethiopia. I hope responsible bodies could fight harder to stop such brutal and in human actions in the middle east. I have a similar story about my cousin who went to Beirut to work as a maid in 2006.
