Via Truth Revolt:
In a punishment not altogether unfamiliar in the Muslim world, a woman from India who was working as a domestic maid in Saudia Arabia has had her hand chopped off, allegedly by her abusive employer. Now the Indian Minister of External Affairs has become involved.
Kasturi Munirathinam has been in Riyadh for about three months. She began to complain to her family back home that her employer was not only withholding her pay, but was abusing her physically. It is alleged that her employer chopped her hand off as punishment after discovering her pleas for help.
