24 Bangladeshi female domestic workers rescued in Saudi Arabia

Twenty-four Bangladeshi female domestic workers have been rescued by the initiative of the Bangladesh Embassy in Saudi Arabia from the city RR.

Saudi Recruiting Agency Maktab Tawasul Alsari illegally detained the female workers for a long time without sending them to work at the homes of the Saudi employers, reads a press release from the embassy on Tuesday.

On information, Bangladesh’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia Mohammad Javed Patwari directed the labour welfare wing of the embassy to rescue them.

The workers were later handed over to the Saudi Female Deportation Center with the help of Saudi law enforcers.

A case has been filed against the accused Saudi recruiting agency and their agency has been closed, it added.
