Indonesian former maid Erwiana Sulistyaningsih being escorted by airport personnel at the Hong Kong airport yesterday.
Hong Kong
An Indonesian maid allegedly tortured by her Hong Kong employer returned yesterday to the city for a medical examination to help the investigation of a case which sparked angry protests. Erwiana Sulistyaningsih, 23, was whisked through the airport, as several activists shouted “Justice for Erwiana!”
The Indonesian consulate said she would undergo a full medical examination during her visit lasting about a week and stay in accommodation provided by Indonesian authorities. Sulistyaningsih was reportedly abused over a period of eight months while working in Hong Kong and was in critical condition on her return to Indonesia in January.
