Rizana Nafeek executed

Rizana Nafeek executed



Rizana Nafeek, a Sri Lankan domestic worker 
 convicted of killing a baby in her care in 2005
 when she was 17 has been executed, 
the Sri Lankan Foreign Employment Bureau said a short while ago.

It was earlier reported that the Saudi Arabia’s
 Interior Ministry under Prince Mohammed bin Nayef bin Abdul Aziz 
has issued instructions for Nafeek’s execution.

Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa also sent
 an appeal to King Abdullah on January 6, 2013, 
requesting a stay of the execution until a settlement 
can be reached between the baby’s family and a Saudi reconciliation committee.
