Tortured, Starved And Unpaid By Employers, Indian Workers In Saudi Arabia Cry For Help

In a letter to the Expat  embassy in Riyadh, social worker Shaheen Sayyed said 83 employees had received a favourable verdict from the labour court which had also ordered the employer to make their full and final settlement and sent them to Expat .

"The workers are physically and mentally disturbed and two of them have expired," she informed the embassy.

The Expat embassy in Riyadh has also responded to the letter written by social worker Shaheen Sayyed from Kuwait. The embassy asked for a few contact numbers of the aggrieved workers 'to us to enable to talk to them and help them out'. "Needless to say that the Embassy/Consulate will extend all possible help to our distressed citizens," the embassy said.

Protector General of Expat (PGE) M C Luther who also responded to the plea by Shaheen Sayyed on Twitter on Tuesday asked for more details to be sent to him about the Expat workers in Saudi Arabia stranded due to non-payment of salaries.
