25 Maids to be Beheaded in Saudi Arabia
Rate Article:
Twenty-two death row Indonesian inmates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have been exonerated and repatriated back to Indonesia, while 25 maids are still facing death sentences in Saudi Arabia for various offenses.
“Jakarta will be sending a 14-member presidential task force to the Kingdom on April 7 to talk to Saudi officials and to intensify efforts in cooperation with its embassy to rescue the maids,” said Hendrar Pramutyo, spokesman of the Indonesian embassy in Riyadh, on Thursday.
Pramutyo said: “Six housemaids are on death row in Riyadh province alone, whereas about 19 female workers have been handed death sentences in the Western region. We will be attending a court hearing in Dammam next week.”
He added many other workers may not be so fortunate. However, the embassy as well as the Jeddah-based consulate are working hard to secure pardons for the workers, he added.
Such problems are limited to a few countries, he noted.
According to a report published in Indonesian newspaper The Presidential Post, a total of 167 Indonesian nationals are on death row, and 11 others had also been sentenced to death in different countries including Saudi Arabia recently. Most Indonesian nationals sentenced to death had committed either serious criminal offenses or implicated on baseless grounds.
Some 117 are in death row in Malaysia, 20 in China, 25 in Saudi Arabia, and two in Singapore. They can always be acquitted if these countries find them not guilty or a royal pardon is granted, said Pramutyo.
The preferred method of execution in Saudi Arabia is a public beheading by sword, followed by crucifixion.

Saudi Arabia applies the provisions of the Islamic Sharia , And do so at all nationalities without disperse including citizens , and The death penalty by beheading is the best way for the rapid death of someone without torment , In addition to that terrifies people so do not do crimes , Any visitor to Saudi Arabia is given form describes sanctions and regulations of the country, and must be respected ,
And because of the application of these sanctions Saudi Arabia is one of the world's most safety and scarcity of crimes ,
And countries of the world their prisons full of the most dangerous criminals, whom the governments cant find any solution for them .
For those 25 whom face death, all of them have committed murders,or black magic or rape, so all of them deserve the death penalty, and there is no place for criminals on the land of Saudi Arabia..
