Indonesian authorities have expressed outrage over Saudi Arabia’s decision to execute a domestic worker without first giving prior notice to the Indonesian government.
Tuti Tursilawati, an Indonesian migrant worker who worked in Saudi Arabia allegedly murdered her employer in 2011. At the time she claimed she acted in self-defence against her employer’s sexual abuse.
Tuti was executed on October 29. Indonesia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that Saudi Arabia went ahead with the execution without giving Indonesia prior notice, ABC reported.
Retno Marsudi, the Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister, filed an official complaint to the Saudi government for not informing Indonesia before executing the woman. The execution came just a week after the Indonesian president met with the Saudi foreign minister to discuss the rights of migrant workers.
Human rights groups have also heavily criticized the execution. Executive Director of Amnesty International Indonesia Usman Hamid issued a statement on October 30, saying the Saudi Kingdom has yet again violated the diplomatic relations between the countries, tempo.com reported. Hamid also blasted Indonesia’s request to release their citizen when their own country still upholds the death penalty.
Hamid described the death penalty as inhumane, and one that violates the right of life guaranteed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
Statistics indicate Saudi Arabia is the biggest working destination for Indonesian migrant workers. Earlier this month, the two countries signed an agreement to safeguard workers’ rights.
Any country should not send domestic workers to Saudi . Saudi is dangerous ????% . And even domestic workers should not consider going there no matter how they try to lure you . Beware !!

Sad to say, not all Saudis like other nationalities are alike. Rest assured, it’s their country.

This country must be avoided to be a workplace destintion.Their people have their own rule, ruthless and inhumane. Most of their men are lustful and they believed that they are cut above the rest and have the right to do anything they want to their helpers and treated them as slaves. Hope that one day those who sinned against others will be punished accordingly by law or by fate.RIP to the Indonesian victim who was denied to the right guaranteed by UDHR.
