"She was brought in complaining her Saudi employer drove nails into her body," said hospital director Prabath Gajadeera.
"X-rays showed that there were 24 nails and a needle."
The nails were up to two inches (5cm) long, said Mr Gajadeera.
"There is one nail on the forehead, just under the skin," he added.

Indonesian Muslim maid Nour Miyati , contracted gangrene after allegedly being tied up for a month and left without food in 2005. She had to have several fingers and toes amputated.
The Judges who claim to be exacting God's justice here on earth..first accuse the maid of 'falsely accusing' her employers and sentence her to 79 lashes
, she is spared the lashes but the God NOT fearing Saudi Judge finds her employer 'NOT GUILTY' despite the evidence and the Employers admission! 
There are some shocking documentaries on youtube and discussions in Arab media about this issue, if you want to explore further..type maid abuse in the search box.
I knew about a maid who was made to vaccuum the house and mind you this is a KHALEEJI house..i.e a villa with a TOOTHBRUSH as a punishment.There was also the case about another maid who was repeatedly raped by a father and his two sons.There is literally thousands of cases.It's a lot more widespread than people think Inaalilaah wa inna ileyhi raajicoun, may Allah s.w.t make it easy for these poor maids and construction workers,
the law is against them even in the country that purports to follow and rule according to Islamic Sharica.
