The Kuwaiti paper Arab Times reported this week about an Asian maid who was raped by her sponsor after asking to stop working for him.

The maid reported about difficulties working for the family and requested that the sponsor return her to the recruitment agency that he hired her from. The sponsor promised to take her back, but instead locked her in a room and raped her for two days.

The maid filed a complaint against the sponsor at the Hawalli police department and the man was summoned for questioning.
