15-year jail for woman whotortured maid to death

Diretube.com. 15-year jail for woman who tortured maid to death Dubai:
An Emirati housewife lost her legal battle on Monday after Dubai’s highest court confirmed that she will spend 15 years in prison for beating and torturing her maid to death.
The Dubai Cassation Court rejected the appeal of the 46-year-old housewife, R.M., for a reduced punishment and confirmed her 15-year imprisonment. R.M. was found guilty of beating her Ethiopian maid K.J. for more than a month in her Al Rashidiya villa.
She was also convicted of starving her, forcing her to drink pesticide and preventing her [maid] treatment after she developed pneumonia that resulted in her death.
Presiding judge Mohammad Nabeel Riyadh dismissed the petitioner’s appeal and upheld the 15-year imprisonment.
According to Monday’s ruling, presiding judge Riyadh also confirmed a three-year jail term for the woman’s husband, A.K., for aiding and abetting the crime. R.M. had denied causing the maid’s death and refuted the accusation of torturing and starving a 30-year-old Filipina maid, E.K., and beating a third maid, W.J. The Cassation Court also confirmed that R.M. will spend an additional month in jail and pay Dh2,000 for beating W.J. Records said A.K. confined the maids in a room in the villa and sealed its windows.
The Filipina maid testified that R.M. beat them with sticks while naked, banged their heads against the wall until they bled and forced them to drink detergent.
She said K.J. was so hungry that she searched for food in the dustbin. Dubai Police’s forensic examiner said forcing K.J. to drink pesticide quickened her death.
The housewife and her husband pleaded not guilty. The Filipina maid said her employer once forced her to drink Clorox mixed with Dettol because she disapproved of the way she cleaned the bathroom.
She told the court that R.M. did not feed them properly and locked them up for long periods. “Her brutality made me consider absconding… I failed to do so because we were locked up all the time.
She also prevented me from calling my parents,” said E.K. She testified in court that the maids were beaten till they bled.
According to E.K.’s statement, K.J. fell so ill four days before her death that she couldn’t walk or talk or even go to the bathroom.
She said R.M. refused to take the Ethiopian to hospital although she begged her to.
The Filipina said R.M. offered her hush money to keep silent regarding K.J.’s death. Monday’s ruling is irrevocable.

Gursha (ጉርሻ)

A gursha (var. gorsha , goorsha) is an act of friendship and love in Ethiopia culture.
When eating injera, a person uses his or her right hand to strip off a piece, wraps it around some wat or kitfo, and then puts it into his or her mouth.
During a meal with friends or family, it is a common custom to feed others in the group with one's hand by putting the rolled injera or a spoon full of other dishes into another's mouthe.
This is called a gursha , and the larger the gursha, the stronger the friendship or bond (only surpassed by the brewing of Tej together). This tradition was popularized and celebrated in a Simpsons episode featuring Ethiopian cuisine.

ETHIOPIA! What I learned in our two week trip

Diretube.com. ETHIOPIA! What I learned in our two week trip, which just ended. (Now I'm in Israel on a very different kind of trip for the next ten days.) My highlights:

1. Ethiopians are the friendliest people I've met in my lifetime of travels to about 60 countries. It was just a constant pleasure to be around them. They welcomed us into every social occasion, from a dance in their hut to a massive religious celebration (St. Mary's). They insisted we sit in the front. Genuine grins and warmth, nonstop.

2. The children, who are not taught to fear strangers. Oh dear Lord, the kids who smiled and waved delightedly as our car went by village after village, as if it's the most wonderful thing ever. The little boys who run up to us and say "welcome, where are you from?" The girls who took my hand and stroked my hair. Giving them pens and watching them light up like it was Christmas morning. My heart twinged saying goodbye to these beautiful children.

3. The Fistula Hospital. Many African women incur horrific injuries in childbirth, because their bodies are too small and malnourished to give birth. Rips in their bladder and elsewhere leave them incontinent. The Hamlin Fistula Hospital fixes them. I am proud to be a donor. We visited, and seeing these tiny bodies in hospital beds moved me beyond words. I will never forget or abandon these sisters.

4. The rock hewn churches in the north, especially Lalibela! Who looks at a stone mountain and says, "I'm going to carve that into a massive church?" King Lalibela, that's who, in the 12th century. Eleven of these massive structures, still standing, in continuous use for 900 years. Truly a wonder of the world, and this alone was worth the trip. Hard to get the scale of them in photos. You just have to go and see them for yourself.

5. The geladas (formerly called baboons) in Simien National Park. You can walk among them, and they just keep munching on that tasty green grass, by the hundreds. The babies frolic adorably into the stream. The big male got his funky monkey on with a female who screamed in . . . pain? Ecstasy? Both? Couldn't tell. Tried not to look, but they didn't seem to care.

6. Buying some vibrant paintings in Addis Ababa on the last day, and meeting the artist, who told me he wanted to capture the hard lives but also the joy of Ethiopian women. And I think he did, in the painting I bought.

7. Being told that injera, the local spongy bread they eat at every meal, is high in iron, whole grain, superfood yada yada by everyone. Yep, okay! Got it!

8. Surviving the rutted, scary guard-rail-free high mountain roads. Yikes.

9. Talking to a survivor of the communist genocide years at the Red Terror Memorial Museum in Addis. Human cruelty knows no bounds, and the 20th century was its nadir.

10. Buying multi-layered fresh fruit juice everywhere, for about 50 cents a glass!

Selam, Ethiopia! Thank you for welcoming us farenji, and for an amazing two weeks. I hope we will stay connected. And I hope Americans will stop thinking of the country as just a dusty faraway place where famines happened. They did, but decades ago, and ninety million people wait to greet and surprise you if you choose to visit, which I highly recommend.
