Mom allegedly fired after donating kidney to boss

A divorced mom of two who donated her kidney to help save her boss was fired from work.

According to 'Perthnow', 47-year-old Debbie Stevens said 'I felt betrayed...became a kidney donor and she took my heart."

It is alleged that 61-year-old Jackie Brucia asked her for help when she did not receive any matching donors. However, she was not an exact match. So doctors asked Stevens to donate her left kidney to someone else in the transplant group so that Brucia could move up the waiting list and get one for herself from someone else.

However, Stevens returned home sick three days after re-joining work, when it is alleged that her boss called and berated her.

Brucia's husband , however, has denied the allegations. "She didn't fire anybody," he said.

Son spends 12 years in jail waiting for dad's pardon

A Saudi Arabian man who was jailed for three years in 1997 has spent a further 12 years behind bars waiting for his father to pardon him, a local human rights group has said.

Eid al-Sinani, 43, was originally sentenced to three years in prison and 200 lashes for beating up his step mother, Musab al-Zahrani, a researcher at the National Society for Human Rights (NSHR), told Reuters.

However, when the sentence had been served the father asked a judge to keep his son in prison "until he is proven to be righteous by his father". The judge agreed and 12 years later Sinani is still in jail, Zahrani said.

Under the kingdom's Islamic legal system, law is not systematically codified and judicial rulings are subject to individual judges' interpretation of sharia.

A spokesman for Saudi Arabia's Justice Ministry, which oversees courts in the kingdom, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the case.

Rulings in Saudi Arabia are not based on precedent and, even with the same charge, they can differ from one judge to another.

"We are optimistic that he will be released because he has been jailed for (almost) 16 years and there is no real charge. This is legally problematic because they gave absolute power to the father and the son is left under his mercy," Zahrani said.
