HONG KONG, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- A Hong Kong woman was sentenced Friday to six years in prison for beating and torturing her Indonesian maid in a case that sparked international outrage and underscored the need to protect migrant workers in the city.
Law Wan-tung was also ordered to pay a fine that amounted to less than $2,000. Wan-tung was found guilty earlier this month of 18 charges that included causing grievous bodily hard, criminal intimidation and failure to pay wages to her maid Erwiana Sulistyaningsih, 24, and other members of her domestic staff.
