Hong Kong

An Indonesian maid allegedly tortured by her Hong Kong employer returned yesterday to the city for a medical examination to help the investigation of a case which sparked angry protests. Erwiana Sulistyaningsih, 23, was whisked through the airport, as several activists shouted “Justice for Erwiana!”

The Indonesian consulate said she would undergo a full medical examination during her visit lasting about a week and stay in accommodation provided by Indonesian authorities. Sulistyaningsih was reportedly abused over a period of eight months while working in Hong Kong and was in critical condition on her return to Indonesia in January.
