    Thiruvananthapuram: The ordeal of a young Russian woman ended as she boarded a flight to her home country via Dubai on Tuesday from the Kozhikode international airport.

    The woman had come to India with her 29-old-male friend Aghil, who met her first on social media.

    Aghil, an engineer by profession, was working in Doha. After the two met on a social media site, she flew down to Doha.

    From there the two travelled to Nepal and finally to Aghil’s home town in India.

    The purpose of their visit to home was to get married, but things went awry after Aghil often turned violent towards her. Unable to bear his behaviour, she tried to flee from his house last week by jumping from the first floor and got injured.

    Soon the police arrested Aghil, and is presently in judicial custody.

    The woman while convalescing at the state-run Kozhikode Medical College hospital gave a statement before the local magistrate narrating her sufferings.

    The Russian Consulate also got into the act and got in touch with her parents in Russia. They sent a ticket to their daughter to return and on Tuesday morning the police put her on a flight to Dubai and from there she would return to her home country.

    The woman has narrated her ordeal in her Facebook post wherein she said that she came with a lot of expectations to get married, but everything failed, and she suffered a lot when being with Aghil.

  • Saudi Arabia: Hyderabad woman rescued in Nov awaits repatriation

    Saudi Arabia: Hyderabad woman rescued in Nov awaits repatriation

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: A Hyderabad woman named Sakina Fatima was rescued in November after being tortured by her employer in Hafar Al Batin, Saudi Arabia. Since then, she is staying in the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia and waiting for repatriation.

    The Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) party which had raised her case earlier too has requested External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar to speed up the repatriation process.

    Recused after Hyderabad woman’s brother wrote letter 

    Last year in November, Sakina’s brother Syed Zaker Hussain wrote a letter to the Minister for External Affairs, appealing for her rescue. In the letter, he explained that Sakina, who was in search of a job to look after her family after the death of her husband, was approached by a local agent and offered a job as a housemaid in Dubai. The agent promised a three-month visit visa and said that if she liked the job, her visa would be extended to two years. However, after three months, she wanted to return to Hyderabad as she was not paid any salary.

    Instead of sending her back, Sakina was sold to an Arab family in Saudi Arabia and forced to work for 18 hours daily. Even after her mother passed away, she was not sent back to India. After learning of her situation, concerned authorities rescued her and moved her to the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia.

    Awaiting repatriation

    Since November, Sakina is staying in the embassy and awaiting repatriation. MBT has requested the External Affairs Minister to intervene and expedite her repatriation process.

    The case highlights the plight of many workers from India who are lured to the Gulf countries with false promises and end up trapped in exploitative work situations.

  • US woman left AirPods on plane; tracked at airport worker’s home

    US woman left AirPods on plane; tracked at airport worker’s home

    [ad_1]

    San Francisco: A woman in the US has tracked down her lost Apple AirPods to an airport worker’s home two weeks after she left them on a plane, a media report said.

    Earlier this month, Alisabeth Hayden, who lives in Washington state, was on her way back from a trip to Tokyo to visit her husband in Seattle was separated from her AirPods during the layover from a plane in San Francisco, reports CNN.

    At San Francisco International Airport, she realised she had left her jacket behind, with the AirPods in its pocket.

    Hayden inquired about retrieving it, but a flight attendant informed her that only a crew member could do so.

    The attendant did indeed bring the jacket to her — and she boarded her next flight to Seattle, according to the report.

    “A child was screaming next to me, and I thought at least I have my AirPods,’” Hayden was quoted as saying.

    She then reached for her jacket pocket and found that the pocket was open and the Airpods were not there.

    Hayden utilised in-flight Wi-Fi to monitor the earphones using the “Find My” app, which tracks Apple devices, after the plane had already taken off to Seattle.

    She then realised that the AirPods were moving.

    “I’m a diligent person, and I tracked the whole way from San Francisco to Seattle, taking screenshots the entire time. I live an hour from Seattle, and once I got home, I was still taking screenshots,” Hayden said.

    The headphones ultimately stopped moving at an address in the Bay Area in the US.

    Hayden marked her headphones as “lost” on her app, pinging an alert and her number to the person who had them.

    Moreover, the report said that she enlisted the help of a detective at the San Mateo police force who was working at San Francisco Airport.

    The detective traced the address from where the AirPods were pinging to an airport contractor who was loading food onto planes.

    When questioned by authorities, the airport worker stated that the headphones were given to him by a cleaner, who denied knowing anything about the scenario, the report mentioned.

    When the AirPods were returned to Hayden 12 days later, she remarked they looked trodden on.

    She stated that after complaining about the condition of the headphones, United Airlines (which she was flying) handed her $271 and 5,000 air miles.

    United Airlines verified that the employee was hired by a vendor rather than the airline.

    Chhattisgarh: Woman made to walk on burning coal, three arrested

    [ad_1]

    Durg: A woman was allegedly made to walk on burning coal and iron nails by her husband’s relatives to prove that she did not practice black magic in Chhattisgarh’s Durg town, police said on Saturday.

    The woman, who sustained burns on her legs, was hospitalised after the incident that took place in Kailash Nagar area of the town on March 20, an official said.

    The police have arrested two women and a man, and detained a minor boy, who claimed to be a tantrik, he said.

    Talking to PTI, the victim, Mamta Nishad, a resident of Karidih locality here, claimed that her husband’s younger brother, his wife and her elder sister-in-law used to harass her by accusing her of being involved in witchcraft.

    On the night of March 20, when her husband was away, the trio allegedly took her to a tantrik in Kailash Nagar and asked her to prove that she did not indulge in black magic, she alleged.

    The victim claimed that the tantrik had made her walk 12 times on burning coal and nine times on a bed of iron nails. The victim informed her husband about the ordeal, following which a police complaint was lodged.

    A case under sections 324 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and provisions of the Chhattisgarh Tonhi Pratadna Nivaran Act has been registered, City Superintendent of Police (CSP) of Durg area Vaibhav Banker said.

    The three accused relatives were arrested and the tantrik, who is a minor, was detained, he said, adding that further investigation is underway.

    The victim, however, raised questions about the police action after the accused were granted bail by a local court and demanded stern action against them.

  • Uyughur woman, teacher testify of torture, brainwashing in Chinese camps to US Congress

    Uyughur woman, teacher testify of torture, brainwashing in Chinese camps to US Congress

    [ad_1]

    Washington: Two women who say they experienced and escaped Chinese “re-education camps” have provided first-hand testimony to members of the US Congress, giving harrowing detail while imploring Americans not to look away from what Washington has declared a continuing genocide of Muslim ethnic minorities.

    Testifying before a special House committee on Thursday, Gulbahar Haitiwaji, an Uyghur woman, said that during her nearly three years in internment camps and police stations, prisoners were subjected to 11 hours of “brainwashing education” each day, the Guardian reported.

    It included singing patriotic songs and praising the Chinese government before and after meals.

    Haitiwaji said detainees were punished for speaking in Uyghur and endured routine interrogations during which they were hooded and shackled to their chairs.

    On one occasion, she said, she was chained to her bed for 20 days.

    Female prisoners were told they would be vaccinated, when they were being sterilised, the Guardian reported.

    “There are cameras all over the camp,” Haitiwaji said. “Our every move was monitored.”

    She said in written testimony that after her head was shaved, she had a feeling of “losing my sense of self, losing my ability to even remember the faces of my family members”, the Guardian reported.

    Qelbinur Sidik, a member of China’s ethnic Uzbek minority who is now a human rights activist living in the Netherlands, told of being coerced by Chinese authorities into teaching classes at one of China’s internment camps.

    Through a translator, she described the detention facilities as “like a war zone” with razor wire fencing and armed guards.

    Sidik recalled hearing the “horrible screaming sounds” of Uyghur prisoners as they were tortured, the Guardian reported.
