Not 100% sure on the title as I don't speak their language.

A cruel woman has been detained by police in Kuwait for filming her Ethiopian maid falling from the seventh floor in an apparent suicide attempt without trying to rescue her.

The Kuwaiti woman filmed her maid land on a metal awning and survive, then posted the incident on social media, Al-Seyassah newspaper reported.

The 12-second video shows the maid hanging outside the building, with one hand tightly gripping the window frame, as she begged for help in an apparent last-minute change of mind.

The woman holding the camera is heard telling the hanging maid: 'Oh crazy, come back.'

The terrified maid is seen screaming 'hold me, hold me', just before her hand slipped and she fell down to hit the awning, which appears to soften the impact.

The employer made no reaction as she continued filming.

Later, paramedics rescued the maid and rushed her to hospital where she was found to have a broken arm as well as a bloody nose and ear.

The criminal investigation police referred the employer to the prosecution over failing to help the victim, the newspaper reported.

The reasons for the maid's attempted suicide were not revealed.

The Kuwait Society for Human Rights on Friday called on the authorities to investigate the case and refer it to court.

The oil-rich Gulf state is home to more than 600,000 domestic helpers, a majority of them Asians, many of whom complain of abuse, mistreatment and non-payment of wages.

Are you sure it's a suicide?

If it was a suicide I think she either had a wtf was I thinking moment ?? Or it was some kinda accident and she was begging for help

Look how dusty that roof was.

I think it's a little bizarre that she was wailing whilst clinging on for dear life, then when she let go she fell in complete silence.

It certainly doesn't sound like she was out there of her own accord, there was a lot of panic in her voice. The camera person sounded rather smug, so I'm guessing maybe murder...

On another site it said she was an Ethiopian housemaid who jumped, no reason given as to why, it also stated that she sustained a few fractures but lived.
I don't see her just breaking a few things from that height.

A couple things seem odd. She was panicking, and also, if she was trying to kill herself then changed her mind, why was the fucker in there filming and sounding like a psychopath instead of helping her back in?

Well if that was her boss whom was filming her i'm not surprised she wanted to escape the bitch.

There was an episode of Mythbusters to see how long you can hold onto a ledge. In this case she was even doing it with one hand. You can't last as long as you think. As to why she was even on the ledge that's a whole different question.
