Bahrain: Woman faces trial for forcing another into prostitution
The High Criminal Court has adjourned the hearing of the case of an Asian woman, aged 42, accused of defrauding another woman and forcing her into prostitution.
The defendant is said to have lured the victim into Bahrain by providing a fake job offer, fabricated by the husband of the accused.
It’s said that the victim was subject to brutal beatdowns. The victim managed to escape from the apartment and a pedestrian helped her to reach a police station before reporting her case. The 42-year-old woman was later arrested, questioned and charged before facing a trial over accusations of holding a woman captive and forcing her into prostitution.
