In early May, it was reported that two potential trafficking victims were rescued from a Saudi Arabian diplomatic compound in an upscale area of McLean, Virginia. But since the residents apparently have diplomatic immunity, it seems little has been done to investigate or charge the alleged offenders.
Now, a 25-year-old woman from Kenya is claiming to have been held as a domestic slave for three months by Saudi Arabian diplomats in the same area, NBC Washington reports:
The Kenyan woman — who goes by the name Sheila — said she was brought to the U.S. from Kenya by way of Saudi Arabia last summer, by people who forced her to work long hours each day, seven days a week, as a domestic worker.
“I used to work from 6 in the morning to 8, 10 in the evening,” Sheila said by cell phone to News4′s Jackie Bensen. “From Monday to Monday.”
Did you ever have a day off? Bensen asked. “No,” Shelia replied.
Shelia said she was rescued with the help of a Fairfax County man, Marikio, whom she met on a Facebook community for Kenyans living in the D.C. area.
