When, in August, L.T. Ariyawathi, a Sri Lankan maid, accused her Saudi employer of hammering nails and needles into her body, many ordinary Saudis as well as government officials were quick to question her account.
In spite of photographic evidence, some even accused Ms Ariyawathi of fabrication and blackmail.
This month, when reports surfaced of the alleged torture of Sumiati Binti Salan Mustapa, 23, in Medina, and the death of Kikim Komalasari, 36, in Abha, both Indonesian domestic workers, the reaction was slightly different.
