Tortured nanny Shweyga Mullah flown to Malta

(16 September 2011, Malta)--A nanny who suffered extensive burns when she was horribly tortured by ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s daughter-in-law, was flown to Malta from Misurata late yesterday afternoon on a chartered flight funded by the Maltese government.

Shweyga Mullah, an Ethiopian national, told her story to CNN recently, saying that she worked for Hannibal Gaddafi, whose wife Aline Skaf poured boiling water over her head after she refused to beat their (the Gaddafis’) toddler.

Ms Mullah landed in Malta on a small Medavia plane at about 5.30pm, accompanied by director of defence Vanessa Frazier and was immediately taken to Mater Dei Hospital. She had been receiving treatment at a hospital in Tripoli. There were a number of opportunities to try and get her to Malta after the government offered her further medical treatment and managed to get her on a flight that was returning to Malta.

Mrs Frazier, who was on board the same flight, described Ms Mullah as a very reserved, quiet person who has been through a great trauma. Although she speaks no English, she was very grateful and emotional about leaving Libya as this meant a dark chapter in her life was coming to an end.

Although she told a CNN journalist she would like to return to her native country following her recovery, Malta has offered her the opportunity for a new life following recovery and possibly plastic surgery interventions. FULL ARTICLE AT Independent.com.mt »
