Riyadh: Two sisters suspected of being tortured by their own mother are undergoing medical check-ups.
The woman was referred to the competent authorities for investigation, on charges of physically maltreating her daughters.
She appeared in a video she had filmed herself as she was strangling one of the daughters.
Another video recording showed her as she was lifting her daughter and dropping her on the ground, sparking outrage.
The social protection unit in Jeddah withdrew the two sisters – Jood and Joori - from their mother and entrusted them to one of the father’s female relatives.
