Riyadh  - Saudi Arabia vowed to end violations of human rights of foreign domestic workers, a labour official said in remarks published Wednesday, a day after a report revealed that thousands endure beatings and other abuses.

The Undersecretary at the Saudi Labour Ministry Ahmed al-Zamil was quoted by the Dubai-based Gulf News as saying the kingdom would enforce stringent measures to prevent mistreatment of domestic workers.

Employers abusing their maids would face imprisonment, he said.

A report by the New York-based Human Rights Watch said Tuesday thousands of domestic workers in Saudi Arabia experienced beatings and starvation and rather than receive justice face instead accusations of theft, adultery and witchcraft.
