| Saudi woman jailed in Denver slavery case | |
| 2006-08-02 | |
| A woman was sentenced to two months in jail Tuesday for effectively stealing the services of an Indonesian woman who prosecutors said was held as a virtual slave for four years. Sarah Khonaizan, 35, a Saudi citizen who lives in suburban Denver, also was ordered on the theft charge to pay $90,000 in restitution and was ordered not to have any contact with the 24-year-old woman. Last week, a federal judge sentenced Khonaizan to five years' probation and ordered her to pay $26,275 in restitution after pleading guilty to harboring an illegal immigrant. Her attorney, Forrest Lewis, has said she wants to return to Saudi Arabia and will not fight deportation. Prosecutors and FBI agents accused Khonaizan and her husband, Homaidan Al-Turki, 37, of hiding the woman's passport and forcing her to care for the family for four years. She slept on a mattress on the basement floor and was paid less than $2 a day, according to testimony. Al-Turki was convicted in June of sexually abusing and imprisoning the woman. He faces a federal trial in October on other charges in the case.

| #10 The slave isn't black either. on a related note: I never could understand how the 'Nation of Islam' can follow a religion which still practices slavery of blacks. Am I missing something here? |

| #9 "Saudi woman jailed in Denver slavery case" Where are the protests by Jackson, Sharpton, and the other usual suspects? Oh, wait - the slaveholder isn't white. Nevermind. |

| #8 Sounds like we need to use her to find oasises (plural of oasis, whatever that is) in the middle of the AZ desert. Ya know, to help out the illegals and give AI/HRW a poster child. |

| #7 Since folks like these are so enamoured of their 7th century "religion" and culture, I say we should use 7th century technology to deport them. How long would it take to row / sail a dhow to SA from San Fran? |

| #5 Last week, a federal judge sentenced Khonaizan to five years' probation and ordered her to pay $26,275 in restitution after pleading guilty to harboring an illegal immigrant. And can we establish that a start for each instance of harboring and abetting an illegal for every employer or government official, local-state-federal who do the same. YouÂ’re damn right, this is one job an American wouldnÂ’t do. IÂ’ll repeat again coyotes=slavers. |

| #4 Webster's definitions: 'A good start' - A plane load of muzzies on their way back to Saudi. 'A tragedy' - One empty seat. |

| #1 More religious discrimination. Can't we just understand the diversity and show tolerance towards others who don't follow our (horrible Western) customs? |
