Kuwaiti employers accused of hammering 14 nails into Sri Lankan house maid Lechchami

 Lechchami, 38, said she was forcefully given a drink which made her unconscious, and woke up to find 14 nails hammered² into her hands and left leg.¹ Surgeons in Sri Lanka, who have so far removed nine of the nails, say Lechchami told them her employers in Kuwait, a husband and wife couple, nailed them when she asked for her salary after working for six months.¹ Authorities are investigating the claim.^1,2 

 In August, another Sri Lankan, T. Ariyawathi, returned to Sri Lanka with 24 nails² in her arms, legs and forehead, and claimed her Saudi Arabian employers nailed them as punishment.¹  Saudi authorities however have questioned the credibility of her allegations.²  

[The claims here are not proven yet and it is not know if the accused are Muslims, but it is something to watch out for given other proven terrorist atrocities and the general brutality among many Muslims.]
