3. Over the past few months I have been posting about the tortures, rapes and
cruel treatment of helpless young women brought in from other Asian countries ( India, Bangladesh, Phillippines,Sri Lanka,Indonesia, and Thailand) to serve as domestic servants in households in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,the Emirates and other countries of the Arab world.This mistreatment has been going on for nearly three or more decades without anyone even making an attempt to raise this issue in international forums.

In the mid eighties, when I was on a busines trip to Bombay, India, I learnt in the local Times of India, that a Saudi official threw a prostitute from the twentieth floor of his hotel suite on to the street below and simply walked out of the country a free man.

While we should be rightfully concerned about Abu Ghraib and other tortures of prisoners, I think it is far more important to address the mistreatment of innocent young women at the hands of Arab/Muslim perpetrators.We cannot remain silent about this issue any longer.
