The authorities in Saudi Arabia rescued her after she had appealed for help in a video call to her husband where she had made the allegations of torture. Bangladesh took steps to bring her back after the media reported about the video which went viral on social media. The 24-year-old woman from Habiganj’s Ajmiriganj went to the Gulf kingdom around three weeks ago, on a Tk 22,000 monthly pay contract. The woman alleged “unbearable torture” by her employer and appealed for her return to Bangladesh. She was among at least 961 women who returned from Saudi Arabia in 10 months this year.
