Another migrant housemaid Hosna Akhter has been rescued from her Saudi Arabian employers’ house and kept in a safe home under police custody.
Official procedures are being undertaken to bring the Bangladeshi national back to home, said the labour wing of the Bangladesh mission in Jeddah.
“A media report [on Hosna] on Monday (Nov 25) came to Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen’s notice,” said a foreign ministry official.
“He has instructed the consulate in Jeddah to undertake immediate measures to bring back the woman according to the demand of her family,” he added.
After the rescue, the labour wing of the consulate forwarded a letter in this regard seeking directives from Dhaka’s foreign ministry and expatriates’ welfare ministry.
The letter says, “Hosna has come to Saudi Arabia three months ago under a recruiting agency, Ruad Nazran. Following the instruction from the minister, the diplomats have contacted the agency’s office and local police immediately.”
“Then Hosna was found in police custody at a safe home,” before adding that an official talked with her.

Hosna has appealed for help to return home in a video message from a house in Nazrana area of the middle-eastern kingdom.


On Nov 15, a migrant housemaid, Sumi Akter has been brought back from the kingdom after a video post went viral, which shows the woman appealing to return home.
