A
Sri Lankan housemaid who was employed in the Middle-East has returned to Sri
Lanka after sustaining numerous injuries and being rendered totally disabled
due to being tortured continuously by her employers.
The
35 year old Mable Perera from Madampe left Sri Lanka last year seeking
employment in the Middle-East. She worked in around ten homes within her five
months in the Middle-East and was allegedly assaulted by each of her employers.
She
returned to the island in February after which she sought medical attention at
the Chilaw Hospital but her injuries left her lifeless and unable to find
employment elsewhere.
She
also stated that although she is insured by the Foreign Employment Bureau (FEB)
she has received no financial cover from the FEB as yet. She further stated
that her husband had given the Foreign Employment Representative a sum of
Rs.100,000 to bring her back to Sri Lanka.
