THE TELEGRAPH: A Sri Lankan housemaid has returned home from Saudi Arabia with 24 nails embedded in her body after allegedly being tortured by her employer, according to officials.
A government minister said police were investigating a complaint from LT Ariyawathi, 49, that her Saudi employer tortured her and drove nails into her body as punishment.
“We are conducting an investigation and we will coordinate with Saudi authorities to have the suspects arrested,” Economic Development Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardena told reporters.
