Mom waits for dead son's body from Gulf

PARAVUR: Not giving up hope, a 62-year-old woman here has been waiting for over three months to receive the body of her son, who died in Saudi
Arabia in July this year after being allegedly beaten up by his Egyptian officer.

The woman, Vasumathi, had pinned all her hopes on her 32-year-old son, Subeesh, and had gathered whatever little she had to send him to the Gulf nation, hoping their misery would end.

But that was not to be. To her horror, she received information that her son had died after being beaten up by an employer. Since then she has been waiting to see her son for one last time.

Following the intervention of some good samaritans and a human rights organisation in Saudi Arabia, efforts are on to complete the post mortem of the body and bring it to Kerala as early as possible, Vijaykumar, Vice President of Federation of Malayali Association in Saudi Arabia, said.

Subeesh was working in a sand mining company at Alkarji, about 400 km away from Riyad. On July 14 this year, seeing his Egyptian superior beating up another Keralite, Subeesh tried to stop him when he was also beaten up.

Having suffered some internal injuries, his friends Vijaykumar and Balan, who were working in another company, admitted him to Sumarshia hospital where he died after 12 days on July 26.

His body has been kept at the hospital mortuary as 'unknown' body.

Its not about Indian and Egyptian. Its about one human being taking the life of another and the "system' of a country not helping the victim's family.

I hope his body is shipped home soon so that his mother may grieve and get closure...

Unknown Body???? even after this much of publicity and media reports?

WTF is the Indian embassy doin there?? idiots. There is no actions taken too against the murderer?? why do people still go there?

I still wonder, labourers working in this extreme conditions for 500 and 600 riyals and back in India you dont get people to do labour jobs even if you pay more than this.
