What is wrong with this picture? Disgusting Lebanese employer, Ali Mahfouz beats and drags Ethiopian maid in streets of Beirut outside Ethiopian consulate

Ali Mahfouz, a Lebanese owner of a maid service industry beats the hell out a Ethiopian maid,Alem Dechasa by beating and dragging and one even pulls her by her hair to get shoved into a car.
Let this become a lesson for those from nation's citizens whom depart their shores to become employed by such a this piece of deviant art, named Ali Mahfouz in Lebanon and elsewhere as maids are can become and often are treated like human slaves.
Let this also serve as lesson to the Ethiopian consulate themselves whom decide to not service their citizens while outside their own consulate.
This maid,Alem Dechasa is stated as being a looney tune,but surely she was fine when she was tricked to arrive in Lebanon as maid and later commits suicide.

Like many of her colleagues, Dechasa had gone into debt to pay the agency that had brought her to Lebanon illegally, two months before her death. An estimated 200,000 house employees, mostly from Ethiopia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Madagascar, currently work in Lebanon. Over 100,000 of them are believed to have no working papers.

So, what shall the Lebanese justice system do? Maid was brought into Lebanon illegally,gonna get a pat on the back and a bribe payoff or get convicted of breaking the law.
What drove the maid this way? Her employers? If this event had happened in downtown New York, Paris,London and elsewhere would not outrage become as great? I believe there is much more to this story than has been mentioned in the event, how about you?

I just love how every bystander (I should say "accomplice") just blows this entire thing off like it's New York street theater.

This is so horrible and needs publicized everywhere. It happens all the time; thanks for bringing it into the open!

This is a tragedy and unfortunately it happens all over the world, even in the US.

It just means that slavery is alive and well, all over the world. Strange that you don't see the OC crowd, worrying about that, do you?

i would lift that employer by his nuts up a flag pole for treating that woman so badly.
the employer broke the law bringing her illegally into lebanon and should serve as a lesson how to go to prison for his offenses too.
how many other women are or were treated the same way by this man

That is terrible! It seems almost like slavery. Unfortunately, this type of thing happens all the time.

the illegal felon to this story is the maid agency and its placement of maids.
i doubt that the maid was treated well by her employer and also her work location home too.
ethiopian consulate is useless in that nation and should just close up and return home.

Al Jazeera article segment:
March 14, 2012 14:41
BEIRUT, Lebanon — An Ethiopian maid who was filmed being abused in Beirut has committed suicide, Al Jazeera reported.
Alem Dechasa, the maid, was filmed being dragged by her hair and beaten by Ali Mahfouz outside the Ethiopian consulate in Beirut. Mahfouz then is seen shoving the struggling Dechasa into the back door of his BMW. The video sparked a controversy and threw light onto a persistent problem of abuse faced by some of the estimated 200,000 migrant workers in Lebanon.
The 33-year-old woman hanged herself this morning with the bed sheets of Psychiatrique de la Croix Hospital bed she was staying in, according to The Daily Star.Ethiopia banned economic migration to Lebanon in 2008, according to The Daily Star, after it "probed the human right violations and domestic violence Ethiopian migrants face behind closed doors in Beirut while employed as maids." But many women still travel to Lebanon to look for work because demand remains strong. Scores of domestic workers have died, committed suicide, or been killed by their employers in Lebanon over the past decade.Ethiopia's consul general in Lebanon, Asaminew Debelie Bonssa said he had seen Dechasa on Sunday and she seemed well. He told the Star he was "deeply shocked" by the news.
