Yeah, and in recompense for her ordeal she got a minimal amount. Not much consolation for being imprisoned, tortured, lost body parts and near starvation, but then again this should be a chilling advertisement for third world domestics (or anyone really) seeking employment in Islamic nations. She might have enough to pay for airfare back home.

"In a perversion of justice, Nour Miyati also had to defend herself against allegations of changing her testimony. A Saudi court convicted her of making false accusations against her employers in late 2005 and sentenced her to 79 lashes, a ruling overturned in April 2006. Human Rights Watch has conducted research in Saudi Arabia showing that many domestic workers risk spurious counter-accusations of theft, witchcraft, and adultery if they try to bring charges of abuse against their employers."
