Foreign Employment Bureau has cancelled the licence of the Foreign Employment Agency that sent the house maid Ariyawathie to Saudi Arabia who had been subjected to inhuman treatment at the employer’s house.

Chairman of the Foreign Employment Bureau Kingsley Ranawaka said that an inquiry against the agency has been commenced .

He said that action would be taken against the Saudi employers of L.P.D. Ariyawathie according to International laws and the report had been handed over to the Additional Solicitor General Palitha Fernando seeking advice.

Medical reports of Ariyawathie, reports of SLFGB, and reports of local and foreign news papers too are in the file Mr. Ranawaka said.

All the reports had been translated to the Arabic language and have been sent to the Sri Lanka embassy in Riyadh.

He said that legal action would be taken against the Saudi employers and the Agency that sent her to Saudi.

  1. dear sir,
    pl make sure to get a reasonable compensation for the victim , ARIAYWADI from her employer….

    And I think its not fair to cancel the licence of the agent who sent her….bicos he is NOT THE GOD but just a HUMAN BEING like you and me…

    HOW CUD THE AGENCY HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS EMPLOYER OF THIS MAID WILL TOTURE HER , AFTER HE SENT HER ??
    IF YOUR BUREA HAD SENT HER , THEN WILL THE GOVERNMENT CANCEL YOUR BUREAU LICENCE and send all of BUREAU WORKERS HOME ??

    one think yu can do is you can inquire the agent whether they got any complaints regarding this toture from ARIYAWATHI or not ?
    If no , then its fair not to continue with the agent…..
    So you must inquire the boss who did this and not the AGENT…
    hope I raised reasonable objections…… just take these in to consideration…

    Thanking you……
