Penicillin Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 What a terribly sad story . Barbaric bastards! Having Saudi citizenship (as well as in other dark ages middle eastern counties ) apparently is a license to kill foreign women with little or no consequence to the perp. Most likely the best anyone can hope for is education and awareness before women from other counties take jobs there. Lets hope they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what will happen to her boss?.......well it pretty much goes without saying that he'll have zero issues........ My wife and I will continue my decision when travelling, never to pass through any of these countries or use their airlines....rather pay the little extra....I'll never support them! Thats a great idea!! Maybe someone with better ME knowledge than me could suggest priority order of airlines to avoid? Priority order would be quite a task and possibly not be 100% objective... But this could be a helpful starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_passenger_airlines#Middle_East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael8511 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I have a Filipino friend that got raped by his boss when working in Saudi after recover at the hospital he received a very large settlement and now have a business and a large house beachfront property in Cebu. There are a lot of these cases that are settled outside court and never make the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael8511 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This is out of topic but diamond king mention about the beheading of more people then Isis and unfortunately that's their punishment by law and regardless if we agree we have to accept it. I don't agree with us death penalty either but unfortunately have to accept it. And it's not only ME politics that involve religious belief look at us where the republicans bring up religion to right and left. As I said this was out of topic but liked to comment on the beheading statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this instance we are not talking about a lot of people in a lot of countries. We are talking about Saudi. Ive worked all over the world and ive met good and bad people everywhere but in the case of Saudi i only met bad and that was right across the social spectrum.

tmd5855 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hello Swanny321. The Americans were treated the same as the South Africans, Brits and a couple of Norwegians. The Indians and Indonesians workers were treated terribly, all the Expats were supervisor level or higher so the saudis had to be rude behind our backs, whilst they were rude to indians and Indonesians to their face. No manners, no style and no saving graces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
