A Video was posted to a Twitter account which shows a maid hanging from a 7th-floor window. The short clip shows the maid screaming. The maid was speaking in another language other than English but it’s alleged she’s begging the woman videotaping her for help.
This incident took place in Kuwait. You heard it right. The woman would rather video tape the maid rather than assisting the maid.

According to the AntiMedia, The woman filming even spoke to the dangling maid before she fell. In the comments, when a user asked for a translation of her words, another user replied that the woman said, “You crazy! Come here!”
As if the woman — who, incidentally, is hanging on by one hand — was just having a laugh.
Fortunately, the woman didn’t fall all the way to the ground; she fell about two stories to an adjoining building which broke her fall. The was rushed to the hospital with multiple fractures and bruises but nothing was broken.
It’s alleged that the maid was possibly attempting suicide and then changed her mind. The Guardian reported the woman who filmed the incident is being detained.

“The Kuwait Society for Human Rights on Friday called on the authorities to investigate the case and refer it to court.
“The oil-rich Gulf state is home to more than 600,000 domestic helpers, a majority of them Asians, many of whom complain of abuse, mistreatment and non-payment of wages.
“Hundreds of maids escape their employers every year over abuse, and the government has set up shelters for them. Some seek help from their embassies.”
