Saudi Princess Charged With Beating ORLANDO, Fla. A Saudi princess has been charged with beating her servant and pushing her down a flight of stairs. Princess Buniah al-Saud, the niece of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, was held without bond at the Orange County Jail for allegedly beating Memet Ismiyati, her Indonesian maid. Al-Saud, 41, could get 15 years in prison if convicted of felony aggravated battery. Neighbors called 911 Friday after Ismiyati, 36, ran crying from the apartment she shared with the princess. She told deputies al-Saud beat her, hit her head against a wall and pushed her down a flight of stairs, leaving her unable to walk. "When we talked to her (Ismiyati) through an Indonesian interpreter and saw the extent of her injuries, we upgraded the charges to a felony," said Orange County Undersheriff Malone Stewart. Ismiyati was treated at a hospital and released. When deputies went to the princess' apartment Friday, she denied striking or pushing the maid, the Orlando Sentinel reported in Tuesday's editions. The Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C., said the princess had diplomatic immunity. But the Immigration and Naturalization Service said al-Saud failed to follow proper procedures by not notifying them of her itinerary in America, thereby leaving her without diplomatic immunity. The princess has been living in Orlando while studying English at the University of Central Florida. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58468-2001Dec18.html
