Tortured Bangladeshi female migrant worker Hosna Akter will return from Saudi Arabia soon, officials said.
An official from Wage Earners’ Welfare Board on Tuesday told Hosna Akter in a video call that her air
tickets and other documents are almost ready. Earlier, the authorities in Saudi Arabia have rescued the housemaid after she appealed for help in a video call to her husband where she made allegations of torture.
The Bangladesh Consulate in Jeddah said in a statement on Monday night that the woman, Hosna Akter, was taken to a safe home under police watch in Najran.
KM Salahudin, the First Secretary of the Labour Wing of the consulate, said it, adding.
He said also that the process to fly her to home was under way.
The consulate gathered details of the Bangladeshi recruiting agency, Arab World Distribution, from Mohammad Kamrul Hasan, the Deputy Commissioner of Habiganj, from where the woman went to the KSA.
It then collected the name and number of Ruad Najran, the Saudi agency that recruited Hosna.
The agency told the consulate that Hosna was at the safe home under police watch.
The 24-year old woman from Habiganj’s Ajmiriganj went to Saudi Arabia around three weeks ago on a Tk 22,000 monthly pay contract.
Contacted, Abdur Rashid, owner of the recruiting agency in Dhaka said, they have sent more than one hundred female worker in last two years in Saudi Arabia, but no one among them have alleged of being tortured there except Hosna.
