OFWs seek probe on abduction-rape of 4 RP nurses in Saudi.
(Updated Oct. 7 12:30 a.m.) A militant migrants' group asked the Philippine Embassy on Wednesday to investigate the alleged abduction and rape of four Filipino nurses in Saudi Arabia, one of whom was killed.
Kapatiran sa Gitnang Silangan (KGS) chairperson Eric Jocson said their group is conducting its own investigation about the abduction and rape of the Filipino nurses working in Riyadh hospitals. KGS is an affiliate of Migrante Middle East.
“We are certain that the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh already heard or have been informed of such barbaric incidents (in) which (the) victims are Pinay nurses; what (is) worrying us is that we are not certain if the (Philippine) embassy officials have conducted their own thorough investigations on the two separate incidents of abduction and rape," Jocson said in an article posted on the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines news site.
