A Kenyan woman who was admitted at Huddinge Hospital after her lungs collapsed has been deported to Kenya. A source close to the woman told KSB that the woman was deported soon after her health condition improved last week.
At the time of her deportation, the woman was working for a Swedish couple as an Au Pair. The couple, which was working for the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kenya, arranged for her trip to Sweden after their tour of duty ended. In Kenya, the woman was working for the couple as a House maid.
Attempts by the Kenyan Embassy to intervene in the case were fruitless as the woman disappeared from Hospital soon after her situation was made public by KSB. Her situation reflects that of many immigrant workers in Sweden who face slavish working conditions because of their status as “undocumented” immigrants. The swedish couple had detained the woman’s Passport prior to her deportation.
