  Two doctors locked their nanny in her room, told her she would never be allowed to go home and
  said they would ‘sell' her because she was costing too much money, a court heard.
  
  
  
  Drs Safaa Hassan Ismail, 45, and Hussien El-Maghraby, 47, are accused of
  trafficking, false imprisonment and holding Egyptian Asmaa Hemdan in servitude, Southwark Crown Court heard today.
  
  
  
  The couple arranged travel documents through a relative bringing the 27-year-old to their
  home in Muswell Hill in May 2011 with the intention of exploiting her, it is claimed.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Accused: Safaa Hassan Ismail (left) and Hussien El-Maghraby (right) are
  accused of trafficking, false imprisonment and holding Egyptian Asmaa Hemdan in servitude
  
  
  
  The alleged victim was told she would be working as a nanny for the couple's young son, and occasionally looking after their
  niece, who also lived with the couple, being
  paid £200 a month to work six days a week.
  
  But when she arrived her passport was taken from her and she was forced to
  work long hours doing other chores including cleaning the house.
  
  
  
  The court heard how the woman was locked in the house when the couple went out, kept under
  ‘constant watch' and only allowed out of the house when accompanying
  Dr Ismail.
  
  After becoming ‘very depressed' she asked to go back to Egypt, but was locked in her room without food and water and told she couldn't
  come out until ‘she learnt some manners', the court heard.
  
  
  
  Following a discussion with Dr Ismail after the incident, she was told she would ‘never be
  allowed to leave'.
  
  
  The court heard the woman overheard a conversation between the couple in which she claims
  they said she would be sold as she was costing to much. 
  
  
  
  
  Hearing: Southwark Crown Court (pictured) heard how the couple
  allegedly arranged travel documents to bring the 27-year-old
  to their home in Muswell Hill in May 2011 with the intention of exploiting her
  
  
  The family were preparing to move from London to Rugby for
  Dr Maghraby's job.
  
  
  
  
  After four months of her alleged ordeal she took a rare opportunity to flee, the
  court heard.
  
  
  She was found sobbing at a bus stop by a stranger and later reported her ordeal to the police.
  
  
  
  Opening the case, prosecutor Timothy Forster said today:
  'Asmaa Hemdan was told that she would be working as a
  nanny for the couple's young son for these two defendants
  Dr Safaa Ismail and Dr Hussien El-Maghraby, both of whom are medical
  doctors.
  
  
  
  'She said she was physically abused, pushed and shoved by Dr Ismail.
  
  
  
  There are photos that you will see that show bruising on the alleged victim.
  Even though she is a very religious woman she was prevented from going to the Mosque'
  
  - Prosecutor Timothy Forster
  
  
  
  'Asmaa Hemdan comes from Eygpt and is from a very poor background.
  
  
  She had previously worked as a cleaner for Dr Ismail's sister.
  This is the connection to the two defendants.
  
  
  'This case is essentially about expectations.'
  
  He said she expected to be paid a fixed sum of £200 to be a nanny and would be treated
  as a member of the family.
  
  He said: 'She thought she would be given the opportunity
  to improve herself by taking an educational course and by
  meeting people.
  
  
  'She had been interviewed in Egypt by Dr Ismail's sister in law and this
  is when she says she was told what her duties would be.
  
  
  
  'But when she arrived with the family the reality
  of her life was decidedly different from what she
  had been lead to expect.'
  
  
  Mr Forster said the victim's passport was taken away from her and
  never returned and she was forced to work long hours.
  
  
  
  He said: 'Indeed, she was a nanny, she was a cleaner, on top of that she was expected to
  look after Dr Ismail's every need, and kept under watch by Dr Ismail constantly.
  
  
  
  
  Allegation: The court heard how the woman was locked in the
  house when the couple went out and only allowed out when accompanying Dr Ismail.

  'She was told she would be paid £200 a month into a bank account and indeed an account was
  opened for her when she first arrived. Four hundred pounds was paid into the bank account in the four month period she was living with the family.
  
  
  
  
  'But she was never given access to this money. She never had a
  bank card. If she wanted to get money she would have to go with Dr Ismail.'
  
  
  He said she was not allowed to leave the house on her own and when Ismail left the house should be locked inside.
  
  
  
  He said: 'She said she was physically abused,
  pushed and shoved by Dr Ismail.
  
  There are photos that you will see that show bruising on the alleged victim.
  Even though she is a very religious woman she was prevented from going to the Mosque.
  
  
  
  'The hard work and long hours she was forced to do resulted
  in back pain but when she asked to go the doctor
  she was not allowed to go.'
  
  
  Mr Forster said Ms Hemdan asked to go home to Egypt after she became depressed with the
  work, but Ismail became angry following the request and locked her in her room.
  
  
  
  Mr Forster said: 'She was not given any water or food and told she
  couldn't come out until she had apologised to the
  family and learned some manners.'
  
  
  Mr Forster went on to say: 'She recalls overhearing a conversation between Dr Ismail and Dr Maghraby,
  in which Dr Maghraby is said to have complained that the victim was costing the family too
  much money.
  
  To which she says she heard Dr Ismail say "don't worry when we move house we can sell her".
  
  
  
  'If you believe this account this is a clear indication of
  how the pair viewed the victim.'
  
  
  Ms Hemdan accepted the job in the UK hoping to be able to provide for her brothers and
  sisters in Cairo, the court heard.
  
  
  
  The alleged victim, who is giving evidence from behind a screen, said she had been promised a regular wage and support for her
  struggling family. 'My siblings were the main reason for me
  to accept to travel to England', she told the court.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  ‘They had no income, and I had high hopes that I could
  work and help them financially.'
  
  
  Ms Hemdan said her previous employer, Ismail's sister Hanaa,
  had promised her a better life in the UK.
  
  
  
  ‘Dr Hanaa told me that while I was away, if I took the job they would take care of my brothers and sisters',
  she said.
  
  
  ‘We didn't have enough money to pay the rent, or for food, and she reassured me they would be taken care
  of while I was away.'
  
  
  She added: ‘Dr Hanaa told me that any time I wanted
  to come back home, they would bring me.'
  
  
  
  The alleged victim said her previous employer treated her well, but
  she was told to expect even better conditions in the UK with Ismail and El Maghraby.
  
  
  ‘Dr Hanaa used to mention she had a sister who lived in London, who
  had a son', she said.
  
  
  ‘She used to tell me she liked my work, I was honest and straight forward, and she would recommend me to work for her sister.'
  
  
  
  Ms Hemdan was taken to the British embassy to get a visa, and signed papers for a
  new passport before leaving Cairo.
  
  
  
  
  Speaking through an interpreter, she said she did not understand the paperwork, which was
  in English, but signed it because she trusted her employer at the
  time.
  
  
  She was handed her passport on the plane to the UK, the court heard, but it was taken from her as soon as
  she got through customs.
  
  
  
  
  ‘There was a page in Arabic which said that every person was responsible for their passport', she said.
  
  
  
  
  ‘When I found out it was my responsibility to hold on to that document, I would have
  preferred to hold on to it.
  
  But when I crossed passport control, she took it from me.'
  
  
  Ms Hemdan said she never saw the passport again.
  
  
  Her evidence continues. The trail is expected to last
  eight days.
  
  
  Both defendants deny the charges. The case continues.
