LOS ANGELES: An American couple convicted and later cleared in the death of their adopted African-born daughter in Qatar has sued the husband’s former employer, saying the engineering company abandoned them after they were arrested.
Matthew and Grace Huang also charge that MWH Global asked them to relocate to Qatar in 2012 to work on an infrastructure project related to the 2022 World Cup without warning them of hostility they could face as an interracial family living in the country.
The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages for negligence, wrongful termination and infliction of emotional distress.
Matthew Huang, in an interview with CNN on Tuesday, said the US government took too long to come to their aid.REUTERS
