The Saudi police have arrested four people on charges of abducting an Asian girl and raping her several times in Makkah, the Sabq website has reported.
The victim, a 17-year-old married girl from Myanmar, reported at the Ajyad police station in the city that the incident happened on the day before Eid Al Adha.
According to her complaint, three of her attackers were Saudis and one from her country. The assault took place on Kadi mountain in Makkah, she said.
She informed the police that she was in her home a few days ago when one of her relatives knocked on the door and asked her to accompany him to his house in the same neighbourhood where her mother lived.
“When I came out of my house and got into the car, I found three other men, two Saudis and one from my country, besides the man who had come to my house,” she said.
The Saudis muzzled her mouth and took her to a remote hilly area where they raped her and left after threatening to kill her if she reported the incident to the police or her family.
The girl said she was married recently and added that her husband had left her after hearing from her about the incident. She was afraid he may divorce her, she added.
She urged the Saudi authorities to bring her attackers to justice.
Meanwhile, one of those arrested has confessed to the crime while the other three have denied it.
