COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — 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.

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.
