A Saudi couple tortured their Sri Lankan maid by hammering 24 hot nails into her after she complained of her heavy workload.
X-rays showed the brutal result after the nails were hammered into the hands, legs and feet of LT Ariyawathi, a 49-year-old mother-of-three.
Mrs Ariyawathi had returned to Sri Lanka on Friday after five months in Saudi Arabia.
Doctors discovered the 1in to 2in nails inside her body. One had been hammered in over her eyes, officials said.
Mrs Ariyawathi 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,'
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.
Dr HKK Satharasinghe said X-rays show Mrs Ariyawathi has 24 nails and needles in her body. Some of her wounds have healed over, he said but she finds it 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.
He added that Mrs Ariyawathi had been too afraid to complain about the abuse to Saudi authorities, fearing that her employers might not let her return home. She also did not report the abuse to Sri Lankan officials, until she was hospitalised.
A diplomatic row is brewing between the two countries over the incident.

This needs a “Religion of Peace” alert
No more “maid got nailed” jokes (as seen on earlier thread). I’ve seen that porno before.
MUSLIM RACISM AT ITS FINEST -— I say this because she has dark skin and is most likely a non-Muslim
That couple should be executed.
Perhaps someone should give her an AK-47 with a few mags before she returns to work. The bullets should be washed in pig’s blood, of course.
hmmmmm...already posted I now see
They were simply trying to nail down the work load issue.
This is a horrible crime.
If this had happened in America, she never would have made it past the metal detectors and the family she was serving would be in jail now.
WTF is the matter with these people?
good thing they didn’t have a nailgun
Haven’t you heard? All Cultures Are Equal !
As WE have every right to defend ourselves against this Regime.
How hideous!
One thing that people are too stupid to realize is that Islam is nothing but an Arab supremacy cult. Even other non-Arab Muslims are like dirt to Arabs.
Saudi Arabia is like the world’s a-hole, crapping its people and its culture all over the rest of humanity to our great detriment. Nothing good has ever come from that godforsaken place except oil, and even that has proven a liability considering the leverage it has given them in global politics..
At first I thought it was the woman in green with the nails still in her.
Poor woman. This is so beyond sick.
