Nepalese MWDW activist Rosi deported

After more than a three month detention, the General Security (GS) deported last Saturday a member of the Council of the Syndicate of Male and Female Domestic Workers, the Nepalese MWDW Rosi. (: http://bit.ly/2jvv3FS). The decision of deportation was preceded by a similar decision to extradite her colleague and fellow Council member, Sujana, following a raid on her employer’s house, on January 30. To note, the GS action has triggered the anger of human rights organizations who argued the arrest was linked to activism work. But despite a decision to delay deportation of Rosi until hiring an attorney for her as stipulated by the Judge of Urgent Matters in Beirut, Jad Maaluf, last December 14, upon a request from the General National Federation of Trade Union of Workers and Employees in Lebanon (FENASOL), the Nepalese worker was deported on Saturday without trial. For his part, Castro Abdallah, FENASOL president, maintained that the lawsuit filed to the court is still in process, pledging to follow up the case until the return of Rosy and Sujana to Lebanon and in order to prevent similar actions in the future. )Al Akhbar, February 2, 2017(
