Saudi employer hammers 23 nails into Sri Lankan maid's body

A maid from Sri Lanka was being treated in hospital after her employer in Saudi Arabia allegedly hammered 23 nails into her body, Arab News daily reported Wednesday.

"I had to work continuously since I had to do the chores of all the occupants and when I wanted to take rest due to tiredness, they inserted the nail in my body as a punishment," the 50-year-old woman told a Sri Lankan television station.

The woman, who has returned to Colombo, said she was overworked, threatened with death, and beaten.

The Sri Lankan embassy in Riyadh said it was looking into the case.

Relax, I know this was your time to come out with a sad emoticon and bash Saudi Arabia, but Relax.

Also, do you notice how each new article states "Saudi" this and that. Does this "Saudi" not have a name?

Saudi Boss Stuck Nails In Sri Lankan Maid

A Sri Lankan maid returned from her job in Saudi Arabia with 24 nails inside her body — the result of torture by the family who employed her, a doctor and government official said Wednesday.
L.G. Ariyawathi’s body is riddled with needles and nails, which are scheduled to be removed Friday, a doctor confirmed Wednesday.

Ariyawathi, 49, returned to Sri Lanka on Saturday from Saudi Arabia and was hospitalized the next day with severe pain at a facility about 100 miles (160 kms) away from capital, Colombo, according to media reports.
She told a local newspaper that her employers tortured her with the nails as punishment.
“They (employer and his family) did not allow me even to rest. The woman at the house had heated the nails and then the man inserted them into my body,” Ariyawathi was quoted as saying in the Lakbima, a newspaper published in local Sinhalese language.

She told the paper that she went to Saudi Arabia in March and was paid only two months’ salary, with her employer withholding three months’ salary to buy an air ticket to send her home. (AP)
Dr H.K.K. Satharasinghe of Kamburupitiya hospital said X-rays show Ariyawathi has 24 nails and needles in her body. The nails range from 1-2 inches.

Her initial puncture wounds have healed over, the doctor told The Associated Press by telephone. However, she finds difficult to walk because she has two nails in her knee and two in her ankles.
Another needle is in her forehead, and the rest are in hands, he said.

“Her condition is stable, but we are giving antibiotics and painkillers,” Satharasinghe said, adding that doctors will begin removing the nails on Friday. (AP)

What is wrong with them, why are Saudis under the impression, that they are the super race & all are beneath them, BTW they don't treat Pakistani's any better than they treat indians, Bangladeshi's or Sri lankan's
