(MENAFN - Arab News) The female Filipino domestic helper who was allegedly scalded by her employer in May this year is now facing a case of slander filed by her sponsor resulting in a delay in the repatriation of the domestic help.
In his letter to Blas F. Ople Policy Center Philippine Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ezzedin Tago said the employer and his mother had filed a 'qadf' saying that Fahima had falsely accused them of scalding her with hot water. He said the prosecutor had dismissed the public rights case against the employer's mother for throwing hot water on her maid.
According to the envoy Fahima had already received monetary compensation from the Philippines and Saudi recruitment agencies. However this new development has led to a delay in her repatriation.
Tago said that Fahima is in good health but there are several developments in her case. 'I have asked for a full assessment of the case from the GPH (Government of the Philippines) hired lawyer' Ambassador Tago added. He said that before he went on leave he had met with the MFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Undersecretary for Consular Affairs specifically to represent Fahima's case.
Referring to another case of a Filipino minor Fatima who was apparently recruited through a Philippine agency involved in human trafficking the envoy said that the child had already been repatriated to the Philippines on Aug. 14. Fatima had managed to seek shelter at the PH-rented shelter Bahay Kalinga in Riyadh.
Meanwhile an anti-human trafficking Filipino group has appealed for help to repatriate and obtain justice for a 13-year-old Filipino who was allegedly being maltreated by her employer in Riyadh as she was unfit for household chores.
The young Filipino from Sarangani Province in Mindanao arrived in Riyadh on April 20 this year to work with a family here. Subsequently the family members unhappy with her work began to abuse her physically with beatings.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
(CNN) -- They dedicate their lives to saving others, but as Ebola spreads worldwide, health care workers must also focus on saving themselves.
An American doctor and a North Carolina missionary working with Ebola victims were the first to bring the deadly virus to the United States when they contracted the virus in Liberia and were flown home for treatment.
Now, a Dallas nurse has set a similar milestone, becoming the first person known to have contracted the disease inside the U.S. She was wearing the proscribed protective gear -- gloves, mask and shield -- while recently caring for Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan at a Dallas hospital. Duncan died last week.
While the Texas nurse remains in isolation, a nurse in Spain who contracted the virus after treating a patient in that country is struggling for her life.
There are so many caregivers who've become patients. At least 416 health care workers have contracted Ebola, and at least 233 have died, the World Health Organization reports. In Liberia, the worst-affected country, the virus has killed more than 100 medical workers.
Since the Ebola outbreak began -- the worst the world has seen -- doctors and nurses have described working conditions no one should endure.
Every single move they make in treating a patient must be perfect. One slip-up -- a torn glove or the smallest splat of infected fluid that gets on them -- could cost them their lives.
One provider in West Africa spoke of waking up every morning with a sore throat from constantly breathing in the fumes from chlorine that must be constantly sprayed to kill the virus that is capable of thriving not just in living organisms but on surfaces for some time if conditions are right.
Health care workers battle not just a disease but rumors among patients in Africa that Ebola is a myth the government is perpetrating. In a profession that already demands much emotionally and physically, these caregivers are pushed to the edge in both respects. They have lost friends, colleagues and patients.

Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC) sought familiarity after deciding to build an outlet-style mall in south Elk Grove.
The company used the same building architect and the same landscape architect who seven years ago designed the partially built Elk Grove Promenade mall site near Kammerer Road and Highway 99.
I think all of the design that we proposed in 2006 and 2007 is still applicable today, Emily Gossett, a senior project manager with Dallas-based Beck Architecture, said Oct. 8 during a tour of the facility. We want you to know that youre in Elk Grove, that youre not in any other place or any other outlet center.
During the projects 2007 groundbreaking ceremony on the property, officials declared that the regional mall would be opened by November 2008. But construction on the property came to a halt a few months later when General Growth Properties, developer for the proposed 1.1 million square-foot shopping mall, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The Dallas-based HHC took over the Elk Grove site and several other properties from General Growth Properties during the latter companys bankruptcy.
Elk Grove City Council members on Oct. 8 voted 3-0 to approve a new development agreement with HHC, which plans to include about 100 stores including 12 dining options and a 14-screen movie theater complex.
One provision in the new agreement guarantees the mall would open within four years from the date of the signed agreement. Another provision calls for the mall to include at least 21 tenants from a list of stores frequently found at an outlet mall.
Stores on the list include Forever 21, GNC, Neiman Marcus Last Call Studio, and Perfumania, all of which are at The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk in New Orleans that HHC opened in May.
The company wants to make the outlet mall pedestrian-friendly. Mark Putney, HHCs vice president of development, said during the tour that open spaces would be narrowed while the building faade for the buildings that will remain in place would be extended.
In addition, precast panels and steel from buildings to be demolished will be used elsewhere.

The area near the Lance Corporal Jordan C. Haerter Veterans Memorial Bridge on Route 114 in Sag Harbor is, as landscape architect Edmund Hollander described it, derelict.
Now there are plans to turn the area into a vibrant, lush waterfront parkan idea the village is revisiting after more than a decade.
Sag Harbor Cove Park would span about an acre of village-owned land on the south side of the bridge at the embankment and behind the 7-Eleven parking lot on Water Street. It would have walking paths, bike racks and seating areas, as well as native maritime and grass plantings to provide a natural buffer for the beach, and to help filter runoff to improve water quality. The park would be illuminated at night, and visitors would be able to access it from Marine Park and Long Wharf, and from under the bridge.
Right now, the area consists of nothing but trees and approximately 300 feet of beach.
The most unusual aspect of the park, according to Mr. Hollander, would be its immediate access to the water with the help of possibly two boardwalks and docks extending into Sag Harbor Covea feature not many parks on the East End can boast.
It really creates a wonderful, usable area along the waterfront for residents and guests, said Mr. Hollander, who is a Sag Harbor resident but operates his firm, Hollander Landscape Architects, in Manhattan. He and an intern at his firm have offered to donate their time to design the park.
Not only does it provide an area for recreation, for walking, for sitting, for getting out of the water ... it connects the various elements of the Sag Harbor waterfront, he said in an interview on Monday.
While construction costs have not been established yet, as the project is still in a very early stage, Mr. Hollander said he has spoken to local construction vendors about donating unused supplies so that the park will cost little to nothing to build. Village Mayor Brian Gilbride added in a separate interview on Wednesday that the resident-run group Sag Harbor Partnership, formerly known as Serve Sag Harbor, expressed interest in helping raise funds for the project.
A lot of materials get thrown away that we hope we could recycle and reuse, Mr. Hollander said. Were not only trying to recycle this land, if you will ... were also trying to recycle and reuse a lot of the available material there so that when it comes time to build this, it will offset the cost of construction.
This has the real makings of a nice Sag Harbor project with Sag Harbor people, Mr. Gilbride said. The entire board is optimistic this will really be a doable by early spring.
