Rape woman loses airline job

A BRITISH woman allegedly raped by two men within days of arriving in Bahrain claims she has since lost her job as a result.
The 23-year-old said she spent a night locked in a room after being raped by Jordanian and Moroccan men last month.
However, she insists she was forced out of the airline's cabin crew training programme after authorities chose not to pursue her rape allegations - even though a boss of the two accused reportedly tried to pay her off.
The woman also claims police delays meant it was over a week before she had a medical test, adding that Gulf Air had already sent two of the key witnesses - also cabin crew trainees - home after terminating their training.
She arrived here at the end of March from the UK to complete her in-flight training with Gulf Air and was due to graduate in a few weeks.
