Daughter lost in gamble seeks protection
2007-02-26
A girl whose father lost her in a bet has demanded the government provide protection to herself and her family against threats from the winners of that bet several years.

Rasheeda Jogiani, along with her mother Nooran, told reporters outside the press club that her father had bet and lost her when she was an infant. She said the man who the bet now wanted to take possession of her and was threatening her mother. She said her father had died eight years ago and her mother had paid the bet winner a fine, but the man and his family still wanted custody of her. She said she did not want to go to them as they made their women work hard labour on farms and often beat them.

#1  Gee, sounds like Rasheeda fits the definition of a slave to a "T", no?

Maybe she should head for the underground railroad......or is that the one that blew up?
